joessportster Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I know the seller and have heard these speakers, they look nice and sound good, when I heard them approx 1 year ago all the drivers were in fine shape, Blair the seller is in the middle of Changing up his whole system and wants to sale these He has a LITTLE negotiating room on these so if you are a collector, or just always wanted a pair of LARGE VINTAGE JBL monitors this may be your chance Pics and other info at the link below http://www.audioasylumtrader.com/ca/listing/Speakers-Hi-Eff/JBL/4343/Upgraded/109333 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moray james Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I have a pair of L200B I think the LE85 tweeter is simply stunning and must be experienced to be appreciated. Superb build quality far exceeding any Klipsch product. . Good luck with the sale. Best regards Moray James. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joessportster Posted April 21, 2014 Author Share Posted April 21, 2014 Not my sale, no dog in the hunt. I have never seen the L200, I have seen the L300 and heard them, JBL's have a sort of CULT following Much like Klipsch, They are not a bad speaker IMHO as far as better built than any Klipsch, I would have to disagree, alot of the klipsch folded horns made from baltic etc... and very sturdy build quality, I have never found myself wanting with Klipsch Build quality Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JL Sargent Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Do these typically go for 5K ? Did not know that. I'm a folded horn man I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkalsi Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 (edited) Do these typically go for 5K ? Did not know that. I'm a folded horn man I guess. They certainly do - large JBL studio monitors are very sought after. If Blair would consider shipping to Asia, these would not last 1 hour at that price. Klipsch vs. JBL (having owned both, from Heresys-->Cornwall-->La Scala---Khorn-->to fully modified Khorns--JBL 4345 Studio Monitors). I would say Klipsch are a better "value" I would say JBLs sound better (by a small margin). For example, in my opinion, the Klipsch Cornwalls on a scale from 1-100 would be 90 and can be had for $700 in the used market. And the JBL Studio Monitors on a scale to 1-100 would be 95, and would cost $5,000+. As far are build quality, I think there is no comparison - the JBLs out right smash Klipsch. Every driver, every horn, every cabinet is so well built that it truly is unbelievable. I have built quite a few speakers, and have modified quite a few Klipsch and JBL - IMO, there is just no comparison between the two. That being said,I just don't know how Klipsch sound as good as they do - they may not have as well built cabinets, drivers, or horns, as the JBLs - but they are so darn close in terms of sound quality - that I just don't know how they do it. IMHO, Klipsch may be the best value in audio. Just my 2 cents -(hopefully the post above is not offensive to fellow forum members).
