NIce JBL'S

'they...were the best selling speaker JBL ever produced' - I seriously doubt that.

I'd be very tempted though if they were half the price he's asking.

They are fantastic speakers, and may qualify "Best selling JBL's" as there were many of these in studios all over the states, especially in the northern states. FWO Bauch also supplied a number of these for studio applications over here. Price a bit high though, last pair I saw were around £2200 in perfect condition about 3 years ago. A lot of the better radio stations had them as well. Need a good amp as well. Silver wound coils would be worth a bit by themselves.

Best sounding? - prefer the Jubal L65's for domestic use.

Calm down guys - don't lose sight of the fact that it may be his mate who did the bidding, just to establish a price level and get it started. Surely no sane person would seriously pay to shift junk like this, that's what skips are for.

Were the L200's the "domesticated" version? - Liked those

I also loved the Jubal as well. You almost never see them coming up now but I've always wondered how much better they were if not plonked directly on the floor. The lack or a mirror-image pair was a slight handicap too I thought..

That's what went through my mind when I skipped a set of Ditton 66 speakers, NAD 2200 power amp, and an Alphason Sonata turntable . Luckily I had the good sense to hang on to the AR40 turntable and Alphason HS-100 arm.

AR 40 Turntable?
As in Acoustic research?
Cant say I know that one

. I meant to type the Ariston RD40 turntable.

The only trouble with JBL is their illogical numbering system. Never did learn it. L200A, L200B all about x'overs and cabinets I believe. Mirror image cabinets? - the only L200 models I remember had 2 units: horn above the bass unit. Only ever saw one pair of Jubals for sale in Germany a long time ago, for about £1400 equiv. too much, too far then.

Bit like Berkeleys really, sold as floor standers then. People now tend to put them on stands. When these were all sold, there weren't any really good stands about, and wonder if they were all "tailored" to be plonked on the floor. "Spikes" were for women's shoes.

Here is another pair
