And there's a Lansing Heritage Library:

Now that’s cool thanks for sharing this .

Lol!
Looks like she’d be good for a nice motorbbbbbbbbbboat too!

No matter how much you pay for the speakers, in the long term their cost of ownership will be cheaper.

Found a pair of Maggies for $300 in fair shape. Looks like some of the cloth is coming loose on top but nothing major.

To each one his taste. But performance wise, these L300 don't compare with the S8Rs.

I've heard the L300 but not the S8R. I know that they're pretty sought after but would imagine that good condition pairs would be pretty hard to find these days.

And if you are looking for the best vintage JBL speaker, it's the big Olympus S8R:

JBL Olympus C-50 S8 speakers (pair)/ LE15A, 375, 075, HL-93, LX5, N7000 | eBay

The explosive dynamic and transient response is effortlessly reproduced by the 375 midrange compression driver (with a 23.5 lbs. These speakers have never been out of the cabinet except in 2010 or so when I removed the LE15A's from the front and sent them to a JBL service center to have the...

To some serious audiophiles and musicians, this was performing better than Altec Lansing's A7 Voice of the Theater component systems.

This guy has quite the collection. You may find a few of interest if you wanna flip through all the images. Revel Salon and Infinity Epsilon for starters!

I figure that some of their owners are still alive and you never know what may eventually show up. But the price might be stiff like over 10 grand for a pair..

$2700 back in 2018 but these look to be copies. Some research indicates that many cabinet makers copied the C50 and JBL sold the driver components, so copies are not uncommon and should have the same sound.

any jbl lovers think a drive down to south texas is worth these two guys?

I'm really tempted to go out there, but he is appointment only. I'm likely not buying anything so I don't know. I miss B&M stores.

Now these look very interesting for only $60. Koss M100 powered monitors a la mtm design. I'm not all that familiar with the brand, but these don't look cheap or low quality to me. Drivers look kinda vintagey but the cabs look nice and well put together. I wouldn't be surprised if these sound pretty nice for the price. It's tempting because they're so cheap but what the hell am I gonna do with a pair of powered monitors?? Any of you guys familiar with Koss?

Koss is known as a pioneer in Headphones for the consumer market (they called them "Stereophones") . Not really a Loudspeaker leader or even a manufacturer of note for those items.

Man, I got excited when I saw this. At first glance I thought I found another RBH sub! However it is not.

Instead we have A REL 212SE for $2185. It looks like a lot of sub and retailed for over $4k, but the only fr spec I found for it was -6 dB at 19 hz... in-room. Not exactly groundbreaking. Especially for the price. Sounds about right for REL. It is a pretty sub tho. Dual 12" drivers and dual 12" passive radiators, one downfiring and the other on the back with a 1000 watt amp.

[Verdinut]

In choosing a sub or multiple subs, you have to consider the size of the room and its or their projected location. For example, in my designed cabinets,for both the left and right front channels, the theoretical frequency response according to BassBox6 Pro, would be -3dB at 20Hz. Due to the fact that they are located close to corners, I get a room gain response of +10dB at 20Hz. EQ definitely has to be applied for a smoother response.

This means that a subwoofer which seems a little bit insufficient at some infrasonic frequencies based on serious reviews, might perform adequately in a small to moderate room size because of room gain and its position near a corner.

If it works, it's worth the money. It might get hot and/or loud though. That sucker also weighs 40 lbs, so it'll be fun to lug around. I'd use it as a back up amp if something else ever died.

SVS Pb-4000

I found a used PB-4000 local for $1500 and the seller is firm. I have been leaning toward the SVS ultra, Ryhmik FV15HP, PSA EV1812 or Monolith 13” THX ultra, but finding used has been a challenge on any of them. Any thoughts on this sub for 1500? The PB4000 new seems overpriced IMHO.

$1500 seems like a lot, but with recent price increases it's actually not terrible if it's in good shape and working. I've seen @shadyJ say that the PB4000 is pretty close in performance compared to the PB16 Ultra, making it a better bang for buck sub.

A lot of power for $100 and the front face seems to be in good condition. Might need new cables or an adapter if you are not using XLR or 1/4" input jacks on the Behringer. Lots of current at rated power. Says 9.5A at 120V. That's if you run it bridged and push it to the max. Hard to say what actual power usage will be at your typical volume but if you trip a circuit breaker you'll know why. Will likely be ok in normal use. Did you ever have the Behringer checked over to see if the other channel is working?
