Those are the business.
I am not a fan of newer JBL stuff, but they made some nice higher-end stuff in the 90's. These LX500's were $400 new back in 1998 and rival he sound of BA's that went for more than $1000.
This is just after I bought them:
The bass was pretty astounding considering the small woofers. I had intended to use them in a 2.1 configuration with my Yamaha home theatre sub but they sounded better by themselves. I unhooked the woofer with the cracked foam and am now using the yamaha to make up the difference.
I love late 80's to 90's audio equipment. Something about the looks of it. I hate hate HATE all that fake brushed silver home theatre in a box looking equipment out nowdays. I liked blocky, black, simple amps and tuners. Rotel's 900-series stuff is my favoutire. Red LED's. no flashy nonsense.
If I had a bit more bank right now I would have picked up a new 2006 m.y. Rotel 1000 series integrated amp on craig's that I saw for a while back for... get this... $450. Now that is a steal!
