Yes, it's growing on me like mad too...there is a small matter of $44K though! :sigh:

Only one lonely pair of 4410A monitors here. I'd like to have a pair of l300's to keep them company. My uncle who is mostly responsible for getting me into this hobby has a late 50's or early 60's pair of JBL PA or pro monitor type speakers. They're about the size of a refridgerator with a horn loaded 15" woofer.

The K2 series of JBL speakers was introdusce in 1989 to supercede the Everest. That year, the K2-S9500 received Stereo Sound magazine's Component of the Year award. It went into regular production in 1990 and was a success even with a price tag of over $30,000/pr. When you consider the current model K2 S9900 at $44,650 a pair, and factor inflation, the K2 S9900's are far cheaper than the original design of 20 years ago.

Yes, and the S9900 is said to be a head and shoulders improvement over the S9800 and its predecessors.

I wonder if I'll like it better than the Strad's...

Same price range.

They're awful purdy too....:yes:

A long time ago I owned a pair of L26 JBL's paired up with a Yamaha CR820 Receiver.

I still have friends that talk about the music that used to come out of those speakers!

I still miss those speakers.
