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?

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.
Information is not Knowledge; Knowledge is not Wisdom
Too many audiophiles listen with their eyes instead of their ears
The 4350 sound much better upside down. That is why they are so appreciated Down Under…..Lolllllllll.
As I do live and work in Canadian dollars that is a large amount of money. I only have what I can listen to music with but, I can well imagine for some it is something beyond. I just never considered a vintage piece of audio equipment to be in the same league as a vintage automobile. I have owned some vintage gear over time. For instance a Marantz 8 and 7b. Together they can still be had for under $10,000, maybe less. Supply and demand will be the arbiter.

I'm sure there's better vintage stuff out there, but I paid the vintage sales tax once over some Marantz gear. Pretty much every piece of equipment which came after it was not only cheaper, but sounded much better. I now understand when someone says something like, "Oh Marantz? Yeah, they've got that two-martini sound." (fuzzy midrange).
Although I love the look of the 4350A/B. I wonder what they sound like, but that'll forever remain a pipe dream much like how I wonder what it would be like to own & drive a 1970 'Cuda.
I spent most of my 20s and early 30s listening to 4350s - the Slam! was hard to believe.
They also tend to win you the "Who has the Biggest Baddest speaker" award all around.
My brother has a '70 Cuda. He drives it exactly twice a year to blow the carbon out.
I had a '71 Challenger 383. It was a ball to drive, but terrifying - literally a 7 liter brakeless, numb steering wonder.
A number of times I caught air when charging up steep hills with it.
Whoa, were they in a studio or a private set-up somewhere? I wish I could experience that.
What's the story on both cars? Like, when did you have your Challenger? How long has your brother had his '70 'Cuda? Pics? Amazing how you could opt for such a huge engine but better brakes & tires were still optional. I think that's they're appeal, you had to know how to drive them. Nowadays anything will do 100 mph while feeling as if it's doing 60 or so.
I remember growing up, the fastest car in 1967 was a GTO tri-power which could do 0-60 in 6.2 seconds. (Google currently says it is 6.6)
The least powerful BMW I sell today will do 6.3 and that's an SUV rated at 228HP.
