    Is this guy dreaming or am I out to lunch?

    For sale in Canadian dollars; about $14,000 USD. I'm not trying to stir up any controversy; just wondering how real this price is in todays market. Or, are vintage JBL's really that collectable?

    I’m guessing it’s this add.

    A very complete piece of vintage history that will never again be duplicated. What would it be worth now if it was a vintage car?? And, of course, that's Canadian Dollars, so—what—about fifty-bucks?

    The audio market is more a popularity and nostalgia display than a quality driven enterprise. News to no one here I am sure. It seems that in Asia at least 4350s and 4355s are valued much higher that 4345s. No accounting for bad taste.

    Yep!

    I certainly agree that 4350/55s look bad ass... and can do things that most speakers can't. But... they are not for everyone. Clark and myself included.
