What is a pair of 4350 in OK condition worth? Two owners since they were new late 70s and the same owner since 1983. They are not mint but fearly good and all drivers are the original once.

BTW: I was told this was one of three pairs sold in Norway :)

$3000 to $8000 USD. May be worth quite a bit more in Norway.

The biggest problem here with these kind of speakers is that there are very few potential buyers :)

He was hopeing to get between 20.000-30.000 NOK ($3-4500) for them so I think they are too expensive for me but maybe there are others that are interested in them?

I have never seen them for sale in Norway before, so its hard to know what people are willing to buy them for here. Norway is a very limited market, and few people have space for these giants in their homes.
And most of those that has space, are looking for some more modern designs. B&W nautilus series and stuff like that are selling like hot cakes here. But there are still some few fans of JBL around. But not THAT many.

I would not mind having a pair of 4350, but I dont know about the look.
Many people think mine 4430 are oldfashion and ugly. If that is the case, what will people (and my wife) think of a pair of 4350?
Here is a pretty cool picture of a pair, with some "minor" modifications:

I know about one pair in Studio Gray being sold in the late 80's in my area. don't know where they are now.:(
so its hard to know what people are willing to buy them for here.
My guess will be about NKR 35-40000 (US$ 5000- 6000)

Yes. If I had the space I would have a pair. But no space.:biting:

Can you believe it? speakers from US$ 14000 - ????. I still use 4343B's. Should say what I mean.;)


But there are still some few fans of JBL around. But not THAT many.

I believe there are more than we think, and know about. There are VERY FEW large monitors for sale, and there has been sold quite a large number over the years. That must mean the owners "sit on them", don't want to change.:applaud:

Hey! ... They look like what they are...Speakers!:bouncy: If some think they look old fashion (and ugly) it's their problem. If you have the space, talk to your better half on a Sunday morning after roses, diamonds and a nice time of s*x.:D
