It depends I guess how well they were cared for and if they've been stored properly. I have a pair of Original JBL200 studio Monitors,purchased late 60s.Still in perfect playing condition.Woofers are mint,as are everything else. I did take very good care of them ( babied them realy ). I hand rubbed them with Linseed oil twice every year.I occasionally take them from my cellar and play them till I get bored and packem away for a few more years.I would love to know what they'd cost to build today?????
old JBL studio monitors
(old) JBL Studio monitors seem like an interesting deal on ebay (or here on agon).
But what makes a "studio monitor " a "studio monitor " ?
How well have 15 (20?) year old JBLs aged? I do know about failing foam woofer surrounds. I would imagine the caps in the crossovers are getting unhappy too, maybe.
Any thoughts?
