The 70’s are back

People have to stop conflating a speaker from the '70s to one being made presently. Also, anyone who's heard a modern JBL speaker like the 4319, 4367, and even the new L-100 would be wrong to state that they're only good for rock and pop as I can attest that it excels at classical, folk, electronica and world music as well. That, and it's definitely not a flawed design. That's almost laughable, were it not sad to think that today's audiophiles can dismiss a proven design.

Take a look at Kenrick Sound on YouTube and see just how relevant a design JBL is even with their older designs. Devising modern crossovers and updating drivers make for some of the most sought after speakers around.

All the best,

There is a lot of miss lead folks on this site who think vintage cannot compete. They couldn't be any more wrong. I found often times vintage exceeds the performance of new,  with some minor refurbishing.  I think it's their way of trying to justify their own multi kilobuck speakers. 

When I bought mine in ‘73-74, I paid $625 including speaker wire. Everyone thought I was nuts to pay so much!

Good info on JBL'S. Have 4350's

So I looked up inflation from 1973-2018 and the $600 I paid then is now $33xx.
With manufacturing costs coming down on most (not all) things, I wonder if JBL is looking for me to fondly remember yesterday and want to relive those days.
