Vintage JBL Floor Standing Speakers


I'd like to get a pair of old JBLs.  Any recommendations?

Thank you.

So many to choose from, and hopefully you will get many suggestions, my favorites follow. If you have the money, Hartsfields and the Paragon are nice. A step down would be Olympus or Apollo. For more modern, L300 or L212 would be fun. And if bereft of funds the sleepers are L5 and L7.

Good luck with the hunt and happy holidays.

What kind of money are you looking to spend? 4345s/4350s/4355s would be the way to go if you can find and afford them. They will be cheaper than Paragons or Hartsfields and offer way more fidelity.

For a sampling of vintage JBLs and prices (though some are too high for what they are), other than the "bay" check C/L within the Los Angeles/Orange County area.

JBL L100 classics.  I almost bought a used pair of the recent reboot with the stands even though I had no where to put them.  My wife talked me off the ledge before I could buy them.  I still want a pair.  Maybe when she goes out shopping…
