Need info on JBL C51 Apollo speakers
Hi!
I have a chance to buy a pair of JBL C51 Apollo speakers. Beautiful cabinets! But, I don't know what kind of drivers are in them, how old they may be, what the specs are (such as power handling, etc.), and their value. I've searched the web for this model and only made a couple of "hits" in Japan. In Japanese, so no help. A friend bought these at an estate sale for $15, along with a Marantz preamp and amp, also for $15! He's keeping those, but will sell the speakers. He has hooked them up and said they sound fine, no "rattles" or other unusual noises from aging. I already have a "music room" system and interested in these for the living room because of the beautiful cabinets, and I'm sure with JBL's reputation they will sound good. Any and all info most appreciated!
