I still listen to my L100s bought in 1976 for $800. They’ve been re-coned and I upgraded the crossover for a big improvement. I even replaced the foam grills that my 35 yo son ripped up when he was a toddler. Original Burnt Orange. Rollin
For the investment, I am blown away with my Ohm I's. Purchased them on eBay for $400, Sent them to Ohm, had them replace high tweeters and 12" woofers with new. New rosewood veneer on the cabinets. Total investment was about $1000. They sound better than what I remember back in the early 80's. Running some good power through them, and it's amazing!
Enthusiasts have no problem paying big money for Harbeths ( or dealers charging big money for them) in 2018. I don't see how this is any different. There's obviously a market for vintage gear or at least gear with the vintage look ( Luxman, Leben, Klipsch, etc.). I've never heard the L100s, but in a sea of narrow baffle home theater boxes, it's nice to see a retake on a classic.
