JBL 96 studio monitors. AMAZING CONDITION.

[oldius]

Massive praise from Scalford, rare as 'owt and as good a pair as you will ever find; if you decide to spend a year searching for a pair! Check the Scalford thread on the Wam for an idea of sound quality.

Cabinets in vgc. Drivers perfect. Grills supplied too, also immaculate. Made in California at a time when JBL were 'IT' in the world of the studio monitor.

Collection only please. £550 O.N.O.

[oldius]

Few questions already:
10" woofer.

Front ported and work well near a rear wall.
89db efficient but can handle 250W.
Fitted with high quality banana plug sockets.

These are a 24kg domesticated (veneered) studio monitor. $800 in 1978.

I have never seen a pair in this condition on the market.

Proper JBLs them. A generation on from the L100 and all the better for it. Nice.

[Macca]

Mmm proper JBLs. Too small for me though or I would have them.

How big do you like 'em?!

I'd suggest getting a listen to them if they interest you Martin. These are potent speakers.

[oldius]

Thanks Geoff, you're right, they absolutely fill the average sized British room with detailed, full bodied sound. I am absolutely happy to demonstrate.

[oldius]

A shot from behind, for those who prefer it that way!

For those asking about valve amp usage, I have heard them driven very successfully by valves at my bake offs.

Not sold yet? I'd have expected these to be gone in a shot. I'd have them myself if I had room, they're lovely!

A few nibbles but no bites. Strange given the quality and condition on offer.

Weekend bump.

[oldius]

Withdrawn from sale.

Looks like we're moving in July and I'll have a bedroom not a ballroom! I'll make a decision once I'm familiar with the new listening space.

[oldius]

FOR SALE, decision made.

Resurrection bump.

[hornucopia]

I had Snell E's in my bedroom.....these should fit yours?

[oldius]

They do Chris but the smaller house won't house all my gear! My previous space was enormous so I kept a lot of gear to try different combinations in new rooms following the move. Even sold my beloved 801's.

[vinyljunky]

[struth]

[oldius]

Thanks Steven. I have firm interest from an overseas buyer but ideally I would prefer them to stay in the UK and especially within the forum community.
