    I would take them now. The bass is a little boomy, but the stands may really help with that (I don't have stands for mine). The midrange detail is hard to beat. Buy them and let us know what you think. You should be able to make money off them easily, regardless of condition.
    That the internet contains a blog documenting your life does not constitute proof that your existence is valid. Sorry.

    They are rare, they are special, they are not from the same family as anything you currently own, and they are cheap.

    Ok, the seller emailed me back, no dents or dimples in the domes. I will check them out in person ASAP cash in hand.

    Ya if a pair of those popped up around me at that price I wouldn't be posting about them. I'd be listening to them.
    JBL doesn't want to sell you Performance Series speakers.

    JBL XPL 160 Speakers - $200 (Eastover)
    I also have the stands and owners manuals. The stands alone cost over $100 each back in the day.

    Glad you're picking them up! If I saw a pair here in SoCal for $200, I'd be running to get them! Ever since I listened to Ti Dome's XPL-160's, I've wanted a pair (even more so, than the XPL-200's!). I'd marry them up with a pair of nice subs and you'd have a killer system happening! And they come with the very rare and hard to find stands to boot!

    Let us know what you're impressions are!
