JBL model L150 woofer cone color question


I am thinking about buying a pair of JBL  L150's.

My question is:

The main woofers ( Model 128 H )  cones are black in color instead of white.

I am suspicious that this indicates woofers are not correct and original.....maybe it has been re-coned ?

My concern ...will this affect the sound and resale value of speakers

if I am right ?

The model # 128 H is on the magnet of woofer, which is the correct #.

Asking Price is $ 1300.

Opinions please.

Thank you

I sold these JBL’s a long while back and never saw JBL black woofers. We also saw a lot of blown JBL speakers, usually someone who had a lower powered amp they turned up to high. I would say they were replaced. If they are JBL replacements, no real problem. Another brand replacement and they will not sound the same. That could be good or bad, no way of really knowing.
