Pics of 70's artists with JBLs
do you think those artists even knew what speakers were being used ? do you think they even cared (as long as sound was reproduced well) ?? Does a renowned person walking into a studio and using what is already installed ... equate to an endorsement ?
with a personal item like a guitar, I'd answer YES, but this whole thread seems to be a bit of a reach ..IMHO
IF the thread was "pics of 70's sound professionals with their selected JBL's" , that might have been more significant.
