The 70’s are back

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.

I think they do. Just the buzz here from the announcement shows that they've hit a nerve. Anyone who grew up when those original L-100s were around are feeling something tickling their insides and resisting the urge to reach for their wallets or dip into their retirement accounts.

All the best,

During the early 80’s I had a pair of L112’s with a B380 subwoofer.  On the famous “for the time” 1812 overture, you could feel the breeze across the room emanating from the sub on the cannon shots.
 I still have fond memories of that system.  I think JBL is catering to Boomers with money to rekindle some of their youth.  I’ve certainly been tempted.
