Lanchile,
Are you trying to flood the forums in regards to these speakers??
Just giving you some grief!
Old? The JSE 1.0's it sounds like you are describing stopped production over twenty years ago. By now the binding posts and more to the point the plastic cup used to hold them should have been replaced as both pairs of mine (1.0 and 1.8) needed this about this time. $40 is an absolute steal on them. I bought a pair of 1.8's for ~$500 a year or so ago as I still liked the 1.0's I bought in 1985 as a freshman in college. FWIW both of mine are in natural Oak finish, and my 1.0's have the JSE double spiked stands (spikes to the speaker from the metal stands and to the floor from the stand) They truly bring the bass to another level. My 1.8's sit on Sound Fusion vibe busters (spikes and disks... what can I say I have tile floors)
Sounds like the ones you saw on eBay were maybe the 2's they had rounded edges on the front and are bigger, my brother has a set of these in I think cherry in his office but the room is so bad acoustically and the speakers WAY to big to tell you what I think of them... I too find them ugly.
Enjoy them, I do, but as you posed in your last post on these, they are large, and I am about to consider ridding myself of both pairs to make room for a good plasma speaker system for the bedroom.
Enjoy!
Ken
