I have NEVER seen anything like that.
 
Re: If you prefer an amp and a Florida vacation with your JB

there is also something from that same period called a paragon---last one I saw sold went for 18,000.00 circa 1969 or 70 if I remember right.
 
Re: If you prefer an amp and a Florida vacation with your JB

The Paragon was quite a bit larger.

That is a retro thing of beauty...

From the days when good equipment came in beautiful furniture.
 
Re: If you prefer an amp and a Florida vacation with your JB

And the furniture is very nicely done...fine craftsmanship.

One of the videos shows the JBL's being driven by Crown D-75R or 0 ? amps, tied to what looks like an active crossover. Did you guys see that video? I'll try to find it and put the link up. Very interesting stuff. No measurement equiptment that I can see though...and the place looks a lot like my house...kinda piles of audio stuff everywhere...

What are the amps and crossover? Anyone know?

Here it is:

And that crazy seller has to put that horrific foam padding on to keep his dysfunctional sons from damaging it :o

Not a bad price, makes me miss my Pilot console, while not as nice looking, would rings around it soundwise :D

Yea... I thought the foam padding was pretty funny myself..... Looks like he could have taken it off long enough to take a pic.
 
Re: If you prefer an amp and a Florida vacation with your JB

found one of these in the trash once, water damaged, full of bugs and termites. looked like it was sitting outside for 20 years. speakers still worked and sounded great! BTW, this guy is local to me, he is a super asshat and is not plaesent to be around. down here in south florida, stuff like this is still commonplace and pops up all the time! most of you guys have seen my collection. i get everything locally.
