Old L00 Woofers, 375 and 075 that i bought in the seventies. The glass tubes had storage below, and i desided to save space by building them in. My biggest concern was that i wouldn't be able to hear the highs very well with the speakers so low, but by mounting the slant plates up side down seemed to fix the problem.

Sitting 15 ft. away, and then standing didn't seem to diminisd to the highs at all. I was surprised.

The bad news is that after all the work, i have to move, and i can't take them with me. I'm going to have to sell them, and was wondering what you folks think they might be worth? Don't know if i should try to sell the whole thing, or sell the speakers separately.

I have to sell all my toys that i worked so hard to get in the seventies.
Marantz 240m amp, 3600 pre amp, and a 2275. Any help with the value of the electronics would help too. I bought all of the speakers at ball electronics in anaheim ca. in 1978. I'm an old f$$t.

Ball closed not too long ago. The man that owned it was still there up to the end.

Ball was the only place that I ever saw where raw component JBLs were sold. Their show cases were amazing as a result. They had "Big Birtha" in the listening room too. Sometime in the eighties after the component phase went away it all changed & Ball began a slow decline.

I couldn't afford any of those JBLs at the time.
