Guys,

I bought a pair of JBL L200's some months ago and will be restoring them in the upcoming months ahead.
I have been looking into getting replacements/reproductions of the original grills and can't make up my mind as to which color to go with as I have not seen any of the four in person.
Would any of you happen to have pictures of these colours to try and help me out? Aegean, Smoke, Burgundy & Raven.

Thanks in advance!

Can't find more at the moment - but does this help?
Oh, plus mine when I had the brown (burgundy?) color ...
and some Black Foam grills I had made at one point

Thanks for that HJames!
I have been able to find some pics of the Aegean and the Burgundy but next to none on the Raven and none at all for the Smoke. I'm finding it difficult using the 70's brochure/catalog photos as a decent indication.
I don't suppose anyone has some pictures of the Smoke color? As it stands I'm swaying towards that color at present. I figure given that the majority of my gear is Black Sansui or Silver Pioneer that this would be a happy compromise.
Appreciate any and all help.

I had a set in blue (aegean) that were beautiful and memorable, partly for the color and textured rib surface. They went well with pretty well most decors, sort of a medium dark blue with some jump. The burgundy is also nice, quite a bit warmer. Grey and black are common on most speakers but....boring. I have JBL blue and plain black cloth grills for my 4345's.
Don't know where you would get a set though. I know some have used foam and painted it for L100's but seems to me that would "color" the sound.

For those who might be interested, I sell a replacement grille for JBL L-200 and JBL L-200B speakers.
Thanks
