Hello,
I'm trying to start a 'hi-fi' speaker system. I've been researching vintage studio monitors because they seem to be the best bang for the buck (I'm a poor college student )
In your opinion, what is the best speaker for under $400-500. I've read about the JBL L100's, 4310, 4311, 4312. These all seem to be readily available on ebay, craigslist, etc. Is any one of these models significantly better than the other??
Are there any other models I should consider? Also, what about other brands/models of that era?
One last question: what should I worry about when buying these speakers used? It seems like the foam on most JBL's tends to degrade over time. Obviously, I'll make sure there's no rubbing or distortion before I buy.
Thanks for the help. This is a great message board!
