Very nice homebuilt cabinet, with the early LE8.

hey Big Thanks for that helpfull link!.......

looks like mine are the budget model...but they sound nice bass rich...

"Homebuilt", you mean the cases are not JBL built?

what about that asian emblem? did JBL offer those?

Thanks

Those are amazing. The three dimensional cane grill is a work of art. I wouldn't say home made. I would say custom made by a skilled professional Japanese cabinet maker.

Indeed, to me they don't look like homebrew cabs or they must be really well made.

Another example of the great days of old for JBL!
