In the early 70's, I had an acquaintence that owned a pair of JBL-200s (if my memory serves). It was a two way -- 15" woofer and horn, slanted front. What I most clearly recall was that a 30 wpc Sansui receiver drove those speakers to an astonishingly loud volume without distortion or break-up. We only did this one time, when his girlfriend was away for the afternoon. It was intense -- the experience really left an impression -- not so much of pure quality, but of an ability to effortlessly play rock 'n roll with the impact of a live club gig without noticable break-up or distortion. Is this considered a good loudspeaker? Is there any finesse, or is it just a brute? To my ear, it sounded nothing like the JBL-100 (which was very popular, but not a particularly good loudspeaker). But I can't really say it sounded quite like anything I had heard or have since heard, except pro gear. What might a SE 2a3 amp sound like on a JBL-200? Is this model available on the used market? Has it been gobbled up by Asian markets? Pricing? What say you? WTS
