JBL lovers

Can anybody help? I have cam 200s and cremona auditors,very nice sounding,but does'nt sound that great on classic rock. I am thinking of trading for mc 60s and vintage JBLs. I have never heard a vintage system,will I loose all the detail and seperation that I hear now.I think my system sounds to nice,but has some good sounds that I don't want to give up. JBLs have big woofers will the bass be out of control? Which JBLs are highly sought after and are the ones with what I think are horns in them "the ones with the louvers" the way to go?

Bad move.Been there,done it more than once.As a matter of fact just sold a pair of mc60s..Boring!!!If going vintage buy better speakers ie Tannoys.There are current speakers that will do what you want on all formats of music.IMO

I have a pair of L200s that I bought new in 1974 that still play like new. Simply love them but need to downsize for retirement. I have Altec VOT 511b horns sitting on top with a switch to choose the JBL or Altec horn. Any ideas on how much to sell
them for?

speak to Greg at https://www.homeaudiosound.com/

I have no affiliation but was a prior JBL owner. He can answer any JBL questions, and buys and sells used JBL equipment.

Listen to some Altec speakers, Klipsch Cornwall's also.
JBL's are great but you are just sticking your toe into the great speaker pond of the 70's.
Klipsch has a huge following with plenty of up grade parts available.
