Good News, Bad News

[Harvey Gerst]

I jumped on Craigslist Sunday and found a guy giving away (as in "free") a JBL E140 with a fried voice coil. I was unfortunately 2nd in line, so I doubt if I'll get it. That's the "bad news".

This morning, I found someone on Craigslist selling a pair of Bozak B-401 Rhapsody speakers for $75. I got those - that's the "good news".

As much as I love JBL's, I love the old Bozak speakers for their "musicality". They'll have a good home here.

. . . or it would be if Bozak hadn't sometimes used JBL drivers.
Or maybe it was just that some customers bought the Bozak cabinets and put JBL drivers in them?:blink:

Congratulations on your score!
Let us know how you like them after you've lived with them a bit.

Always loved the sound; just couldn't afford them - till now.

That 401 looks like a remake of the 302, moving the tweeters from ankle level to up near the knees. I listened to the 302 (Urban cabinets) for a while in the 70's, purchased used of course. I thought they were very good speakers, accurate and tuneful, though requiring more amp than I could lay my hands on at the time.

Need to find a good home for my 201s (8" 2-ways, aluminum cone woofer and tweeter). Simply no place for me to use 'em, anywhere at home. :(
