In Reply to: JBL D130...why did this speaker sell for so much?? Rare model? posted by Mr Blue Sky on June 30, 2005 at 01:02:28:
As was pointed out, a hard to match cone, but the D 130 was used in a lot of guitar and bass cabinets, and those folks will pay extreme prices for vintage gear. Often they are relegated to personal museums.
Most of the finest guitars of this era are hanging on a wall rather than being played. I am somewhat ambivalant about this practice, on the one hand thinking they should be used, played, and listened to, but on the other hand, having the gems preserved is cool too- interesting to think some guitar-slinging inheritance guy in 2050 will play on 100 year old gear evokes the tradition of the Stradivaris violins.
