The 70’s are back

There is a lot of miss lead folks on this site who think vintage cannot compete. They couldn't be any more wrong. I found often times vintage exceeds the performance of new,  with some minor refurbishing.  I think it's their way of trying to justify their own multi kilobuck speakers. 

When I bought mine in ‘73-74, I paid $625 including speaker wire. Everyone thought I was nuts to pay so much!

Good info on JBL'S. Have 4350's

So I looked up inflation from 1973-2018 and the $600 I paid then is now $33xx.
With manufacturing costs coming down on most (not all) things, I wonder if JBL is looking for me to fondly remember yesterday and want to relive those days.

I think they do. Just the buzz here from the announcement shows that they've hit a nerve. Anyone who grew up when those original L-100s were around are feeling something tickling their insides and resisting the urge to reach for their wallets or dip into their retirement accounts.

All the best,
