With luck and patience 4333BWX´s or L300B´s.

If You can build Your own: 2235H´s, 2421´s (or 2425/6) , 2312 horns, 2308 lenses, 2405H or 077 tweeters, 3110+3106 Xovers, (or Xovers from the 4333 or L300), in a 170 liter box, I´m sure You will get more replies about the ducts.

Not orthodox, but You can use a 1 micro F cap in series instead of the 3106.

I prefer the horn/lens (more expensive) than the 2370 horn.

He said for under $1000 :confused:

However, you can expect the cabinets would be in rough shape under $1k on the 4333's and L300's.

Don't forget 4430's or L220's (I like the L220's, many on this forum don't). L150's are nice, too.

:yes:

WITH LUCK !!!! :D This is the key phrase. I found a pair of JBL 4333AWX's for $150.00 Canadian. Sure they needed some cabinet refinishing and refoaming, l-pad replacement, and a few other minor repairs.....:banghead: hehe the joy of vintage speakers. These came covered in a white, yes WHITE aborite, covering the walnut. I stripped and refinished to the closest to factory as possible. Came out beautiful. Now if only I could find another pair for rears hehe.

Good luck and keep looking the deals are out there.

If Kevinhero is from the US he can get 4430 for under 1k.

If not it's hard with that budget.

4425 would be possible. And can be build DIY for under 1k. 2342 Horns maybe a problem but if the budget is the prob there are copys out there.

Good Luck!

Don't forget L100T's. An amazing speaker that can be picked up for $300 - $500 on Ebay.

:D

Under $1000??

Well you can actually do very well. There are a couple of pairs of L240Ti up on ebay they should fit in that budget including shipping. One looks good the other well, typical damage. If you do Ebay shipping speakers can be a nightmare so if you can do a local pick-up go for it. L100T/T3 are nice and available well under that. Then you have 4425's which is reasonable for that and of course you can "roll your own" if you are so inclined. DIY is fun and addicting if you like it. Once you start watch out for the bottom line. It sneeks up real fast.

JBL Dog I like the L220 too. They can really kick!.

Also, I do believe Audiobeer has a set of 4313B's priced to sell. I've seen/listened to them. Quite nice!

:yes:

Aragon 4004MKII or your JBL Integrated!!!!! :o

[Alex Lancaster]

Kevin:

You could also go to a JBL home dealer and listen to the S312II and S412II, with or w/out a S120 sub, You might like them and buy em off eBay for a lot less.

Wow! Can you belive the cost on that! Sad part is you still have to go through it in the next couple of years to replace degrading caps and resistors!

[JBL Dog]

Holy cardboard, Batman!! Another $700 worth of original JBL packing material!!

:hyp:

I'm waiting for the day when we see an item described as "guaranteed to be DOA, but I do have the original packing material. Bidding starts at $500."

:wtf:

Is the JBL amp worth that much ?????

[Alex Lancaster]

$1478!, I wouldn´t pay $478, let´s see if it gets relisted for non-payment.

kevinhero:

An SA600 is an outstanding solid state integrated amp with quality that (one could argue) is as good as a tube amp. Ebay prices are $300 (noted problems, needs work) on up depending on condition.

Trust me when I say having the original box pictured added a tremendous amount of money to the final price $1478 (at least $500). I don't know if anyone else noticed.... all bidders (with the exception of the opening bid, what a cheapskate :D) were from Japan.

It will probably fly. If not, there's a bunch over $1k that will get "second chance" offers.

[Audiobeer]

kevinhero:

If you click the "bid history" link on the auction page, It will supply you with a list of all bidders (and how much their bid was) on that item. If you click the "feedback" number next to the "Ebay user" name, it will go to a page that includes an "Ebay ID" card. Part of the "ID" card lists where the bidder lives.

All bids over $50 originated in Japan for the SA600. There was a retraction from South Korea.

Checking where bids come from is just another classic waste of time on my part!!

:D

Enjoy the 4313B's you're getting from Audiobeer!
