the name of the forum is
HERITAGE. It really does not conjure up an image of interest in current products. From what I have seen, the ratio of owning new JBLs to vintage ones here is very small.
I was initially offended when someone went off on the
JBL=junk, but loud threat , but in the current marketplace, JBL is either cheap mass market products
or stratospheric un affordable high end speakers
or cheap iPod portable speakers. This is why we seem to enjoy the speakers from JBL's golden era.
My supposition is that James would roll over in his grave if he saw some of the current offerings.
