| A friend told me JBL DD67000 is actually very bad speaker, is it true? I’ve been a fan of JBLs since I bought my first pair (L-150) in ‘75 or ‘76. I’ve owned a lot of cone drivers over the years but almost all of my large format speakers have used horns. I did have a pair of Bozak Concert Grands, B-110 IIRC, but th... | |
| Anyone here using vintage speakers? Almost all vintage here:JBL L-150 purchased from Illinois circa 1975 or 76. Still in use. Lots more JBL - L-65, L-100, L-110, L-220, L-300, 4333, 4343, 4350. Multiple pairs of several of those. Altec Segovias, Altec Valencias, Scott S-10 and S... | |
| A friend told me JBL DD67000 is actually very bad speaker, is it true? “What are more current thoughts on the everest... 3 years later?”I’ve owned the 67k for about four years and I couldn’t be happier with them. I auditioned dozens of big names and found a couple that imaged about as well and handled some sorts of ... | |
| HELP! I bought equipment drunk, don’t know anything. I think I've told this before but years ago, I had a night like that, woke up the next morning to discover that I had bought an airplane. | |
| Bookshelf/Small Speakers Dynaudio Heritage. I’d never listened to Dynaudio speakers before last week and I’m not a fan of small speakers. Three and a half years ago, wife and I had to move into a travel trailer while a LONG renovation was done. I spent months audition... | |
| I had a few drinks and bought some speakers It coulda been worse. I got likkered up one night and bought an airplane. | |
| Who else is using old cables/interconnects, and is happy? With only a couple of exceptions, I’m still using Radio Shack interconnects and plain 14 ga. zip cord for speakers. I’ve had a couple of occasions where one of my systems would develop a persistent hum and I’d have to do some chasing to locate it... | |
| Budget tower speakers that rock! The best bang for the buck I've seen in fifty years of speaker fanaticism are the Boston Acoustics T-1030. They have a very balanced and transparent presentation, they can go deep and loud, and they are dirt cheap on the used market. They are pr... | |
| BlueSound Stinks(!), anyone? “pieces, front and back” = “porches, front and back”. | |
| BlueSound Stinks(!), anyone? It’s not always easy to get the connectivity issue straightened out, but when you do, Bluesound is great! I’ve been using a whole house setup for four years, and have had only one piece fail, a first generation Powernode, just six weeks ago. I h... | |
| ...bookshelf speakers that sound good at low volume... Another vote for the Ascend Acoustics Sierra 2, BUT their bottom end is anemic. If you want a really full bottom end as well, try BMR Philharmonitors or ProAc Response 2. Patience is required to find either in your budget, though, but it’s possi... | |
| What's your profession? Age? 73 years old, custom cabinet and furniture maker, six systems are set up in our house, all connected through Bluesound nodes. Living room system - $90K. Family room system - $37K. Remaining systems - around $8-10K each. Racks of surplus equipme... | |
| Why Crazy Prices paid for Pioneer 100 JBL L100 AR1 AR3 AR3A It would be well to consider that a lot of the people buying vintage speakers and cars are those who had them forty years ago. They’re in their sixties and seventies now and they remember what happened in the back seat of a ’67 GTO or on the carpe... | |
| How many NICE looking high end floor standing speaker are there at present JBL Everest DD67000 | |
| How many people here generally buy used? Ninety percent new from 1966 until 2000. Ninety percent used since then. Began with Heathkits, then Luxman in 2-channel systems. Went digital HT for about five years in late 1990s, then back to 2-channel analog systems with used Luxman and McIn... |
