    Catalogue for the library.

    I picked up a pair of C-36 last year (030 load for the curious:D), and in the envelope on the back of one cabinet was a full line catalogue that I believe is from either 1965 or 1968, years not...

    I have seen plenty of new...

    Welding that with TIG would be easy. Once ground down and repainted, it would be difficult to tell where the repair was made. All of this business about it having to be machined perfectly is utter...

    I don't care how good the quality is. I won't pay JBL price for outsourced product. I hope many more folks will share that sentiment.

    Actually, there is a switch on the back of the 120X-DS that allows you to select whether the mains run in full range or high pass. The knob on the back allows you to adjust the low pass frequency.
