I wonder why that is...the JBL L100 made me fall in love with hi fidelity back in like 1978, when I heard for the first time how amazing recorded music can sound.
another thing to consider is that jbl is far from the last word in what is considered 'hifi' so you will typically not see them listed as often as other brands on audiophile focused websites like audiogon.
Back in the late 70's-early 80's I sold equipment at a high-end store in DC and sold a ton of L100's and not a single pair was returned by the purchaser. I always thought of them as "rock and roll speakers", but I must say, I sold these to people who enjoyed classical, jazz and even to one of the members of the Seldom Scene (a bluegrass group).
I thought I read somewhere that Samsung bought the brand name from Harman International? If that's so, interesting that they are re-releasing updated versions of these classics!
As mentioned by shkong78, the DD67000 are selling at 1/2 price, new, with full warranty, and free US shipping ( will ship worldwide ). The majority of this level of JBL usually finds homes over seas ( Japan, Hong Kong, etc ). Enjoy ! MrD.
Just now I counted 10 pairs of L100's for sale on EBAY. Average price $1K + shipping. Among the ten is a pair of the 2018's for $3200 + shipping ($250). So vintage pairs are not rare - unlike my KLH Nines! The L100 is a good speaker for loud rock - Zeppelin or Motorhead, anybody?
