Had the DYNACOS , then the ADVENTS, then EPIs, and then JBL-100s back in my young days at university.
JBLs reign supreme .... Not even close.
BUT .., couple qualifiers:
(1) these were a "California" sound speaker ( Google the term ...) with heavily spiked frequency curve In the treble and bass to accentuate a tailored pop and rock music presentation of the era.
(2) none of the OPs suggestions will match up to current era standmounts with their improved design build, and crossovers ... Full stop..Remember that all of these geezer-rock era speakers have ultra-cheap basic spring-loaded speaker binding posts limited to 18-gauge zip cord cheap and crappy speaker cable posts that need replacement, and likely need speaker surround re-foaming and maybe even new caps .
if you favour nostalgia and favour 70s hard rock played loud, the JBLs will be your boomy bass party speaker... No problem.
If you are looking for a non-coloured balanced musical presentation especially with all the other music genres, look elsewhere .
