I doubt if JBL will take out all the color they can. They will probably leave at least vestiges of the originals sonic signature.
The stands looked a bit short to me for optimum imaging etc. Perhaps it was an aesthetic choice.
Given over a 70 year history of building speakers, I have often wondered why JBL does not or has not resurrected other famous models from the past.
Ford, Chevy and Chrysler presumably make a fortune doing resto-mods on Mustangs, Camaro's, and Challengers.
Several JBL models come to mind as good candidates including the Hartsfield, L-300 and various 43 series monitors.
