Hello everyone - I'm new here but have been reading and following threads for quite some time, and not too long ago finally registered. I began a love affair with JBL almost 40 years ago with the purchase of a brand new pair of L65's.
Flash forward to the present, I am on a quest for another set of JBL speakers. This time I'd like to go 15 or 18 inch woofers.
There have been recent posts about scarcity of rebuild parts and JBL turning their back on support of vintage gear. Is the aftermarket providing quality replacement parts? Is there a trend starting where the older gear cannot be repaired properly?
Maybe I'm thinking too deeply on this. I'm on the fence if I should continue my 4345 quest, or just punt and write the check for something new like the 4365 or 4367. Or, maybe ears aged 60+ years should be relegated to earbud use!
I'd appreciate your thoughts on parts, repairs, and viability of vintage speakers.
Dave
