I acquired these last Novemeber off my local CL for $140! I've read a few things about these but I'm trying to understand how rare and important these speakers are, if at all. Are these the first control monitors produced by JBL? Are they rare? Are they important? Are they valuable? I'm not selling, in fact, I'm about to embark on a complete restoration of them and put them into service!
