JBL L100 Classic 75

Stopped in a the local shop today and they were excited to show me something they just got in which was still in their back room. To my surprise it was a giant wooden crate that of Toyota Prius could fit in. On the crate nicely stamp it read JBL L100 Classic 75. Both speakers come inside one giant crate. Way cool but crazy large and I suspect to hold the value of these speakers one should keep the crate. Has anyone else seen this crate? Kidding on the size a little but it’s a lot larger than one would guess. Unfortunately they’re pretty sure they have a buyer so they’re not unboxing. Attached a YouTube video that shows the crate early on but doesn’t really give a good sense of the scale.

Yes, jasonbourne52 they were the rocker's speaker of choice back in 1970. They went loud with reasonable power. My best friend of the day, his brother had a pair with a crown preamp and D 150 amplifier. I was jealous until I got my Klipsch Heresy's and realized that for some reason I preferred the sound of these powered by a Stereo 70 and PAS3x preamp.
I didn't know why at the time but in comparing the two systems I thought mine sounded better. I can't recall why I thought the Heresy's sounded better but, part of it was probably the ampification.  D 150's had reputation of sounding a bit harsh. TIM had not been discovered yet.
It would be interesting to compare the two speakers today.
More to discover
