Too bad it was destroyed!
I was very active in the '80s. That would have been a dream/drool studio to me when it was created.
All of my JBL equipment had a great deal of value in the late '90s when I "retired," so I ended up selling them off never realizing that they were already true treasures, but I still have a few pair of those Yamaha NS-5, NS-10 monitors. I have those same in 8" 10" and 15" that I do not know what to do with.
One pair of NS-5s lives in the garage.

Brittana Row studios 4350 - Pink Floyd
In case you were wondering why "The Wall" sounds so good on your JBL's: Brittana Row was the Recording Studio set up by Pink Floyd in 1975, kitted out with a pair of 4350's. The image of the control room below is from 1976.
" In 1975 Pink Floyd bought a three-storey block of church halls at 35 Britannia Row in Islington and recorded Animals ….
Their deal with record company EMI, for unlimited studio time in return for a reduced percentage of sales, had expired, and they converted the building into a recording studio and storage facility.
Its construction took up most of 1975, and in April 1976 the band started work on their tenth studio album, Animals. Parts of The Wall, including the famous school chorus on “Another Brick in the Wall”, were also recorded here.
Sound engineer Nick Griffiths recruited the kids – an entire music class (and its teacher) – from the Islington Green School, located around the corner from Britannia Row facilities."
