As I do live and work in Canadian dollars that is a large amount of money. I only have what I can listen to music with but, I can well imagine for some it is something beyond. I just never considered...
Sorry about that, forgot the link.

For sale in Canadian dollars; about $14,000 USD. I'm not trying to stir up any controversy; just wondering how real this price is in todays market. Or, are vintage JBL's really that collectable?

Thanks Earl
Thanks for that. It does beg the question of what would I replace the 3100 with. I am in a very large room now but that may not always be so. Ditto on the bass. I thought the Ti had a titanium...
Hi. I have a chance to pick these up for about $1200 USD. They look to be in good shape. My question is this. I currently have the S3100. They are big and heavy. I love them. I am getting old and...
Don't forget those are Canadian Dollars, about 8500 USD. Still a lot of money.
Yeah, your right. I hadn't noticed it until I magnified the photo. Kind of puts damper on it, or not!
Too bad to have gone that far and then dropped the ball. Anyways, they weren't for me. I'm...
Just saw this ad on Canuk Audiomart. Looks like he did a real good job. What do you all think?

Wow!! Those look fabulous! And you made them yourself.. amazing. I think that there is a thread here on the 3100 built by Mathias. Somewhere there the dimensions had been calculated. Good Luck!
HCSGuy: Well, I'm not ready to take my speakers apart to check that out; quite the job! The treble sounds just fine to ME, so I will leave good enough alone :eek:.
Thanks
After a bit more questioning the owner said they were used many years ago. Then they were sent to JBL when the service was still available for a complete re-cone. And since then never used. So, this...
I have a chance to purchase an "as new" pair of these drivers. I am wondering if, assuming they have never been used - do the surrounds rot by age or use?? I know that there may be a lot of variables...
There was no solution offered at the time. I would suggest you get the horn tweeter in line with your ears. You could also try various listening heights with pink noise to determine where they sound...
I wonder if the Aquaplas has anything to do with it. The foam looks to be a bit thicker than what I have usually seen.
I just tried the "finger" test although quite gingerly. I pressed in about 1/8th of an inch with no problem. I will not gamble going further. As the quality of the bass response never ceases to...
Well, mine have been in the basement all of this time. I do dehumidify in the summer and then it is between 40-50%. In the winter under 30%.
Hello everyone.
After reading a few posts about surrounds, foam vs cloth vs rubber and their life expectancy, I thought I would add a comment. I have had my JBL S/3100 for over 20 yrs now and the...
They must sound rather strange that way. I wonder what a Everest would even look like set up like that.. very spacey sounding too, I imagine :crying:.
Thought some of you might get a kick out of this:

Kind of makes you wonder how knowledgeable these folks really are. I didn't mean to be as snippy as...
Hi Earl.. was wondering if you were still out there :)... well, actually it is I who have not been much around here! yeah, after doing some listening and pondering last night I came to the same...
Thanks Rob, I hear what your saying. For sure if I had 275nd's complete and was changing everything to MKII configuration I would find someone to do it exactly as specified.. no question. As what I...
Thanks for the input Grumpy..there are so many variables here that if makes it very difficult to get a handle on it all. The other problem is that speakers are heavy - 130lbs - and that to get the...
