Nice,
One of my big regrets was seeing a set of these at a hifi show in the 80's and not listening to them properly. I was only about 13 at the time, and recall being a bit scared of them so I legged it out of the room.
Stupid question, are the prices shown on the website per speaker and NOT per pair
If that's the case, those Everests are US$16,000 and the set of L250's they also have are $5,000. Surely, that couldn't be right?!?!!?
Andy ,
they are sweet as ! we should build a pair And that is the price each !
That horn is out there somewhere, I've seen them for sale.

Making the horn would be a doddle compared to the other task. I told you before BUY MORE FLOWERS.
They are my favorite JBL. Pure sound architecture .They wood be tons fun to build. I can't imagine ever using the grills. They really do evoke the notion of Everest.
someday well break a sweat lifting a pair
Home wrecker
very similar indeed, but there are a few differences (that wouldn't prevent one from makingThe same was horn used in the 4660 PA speaker.
a DIY version with the 4660/4660A horn)... hole pattern and fill on the backside of the
"horns"
a few folks here have taken a good stab at it... there's certainly enough info.They wood be tons fun to build.

your mission Andy should you choose to accept it , seek and secure those horns
Rich
There was a time when you could have gotten all three drivers brand new for these ridiculous prices. Alas, no more...
Guys,
I have a friend in Tokyo who asked. They are £4K the pair - but pretty bashed up when seen close by. Shipping to the UK with packing - £495.
hey Merlin,
hope your well. I was thinking of Andyoz for the DD55000 . Thats a lot of yen !!!!I still have yearnings for the secret one .
I hope you can make it to the 1st Peckham JBL international whiskey drinking contest.
Rich
Hi Rich,
hope so too - Ive been stuck inside too much lately!
Sadly though I might be in Tokyo myself that weekend, playing in hifiDo and Dynamic Audio...
You must come over before then - have a listen to my mongrels.
Member Matthias attempted to replicate the Everest I horn, as documented in these forums.
I believe his sample is still stuck to the concrete he was using to make the mold, though.
H2600, the truncated version, makes it all a simpler task, and those are still available. You have to have the throats made, though, as they don't come with.
Mr. Widget is your source for those....
