** That would be the L100 "Century" - based on the similar 4310 and 4311 studio monitors.

JBL must have sold thousands of those.


** Allegedly over 100,000 pairs.


One still sees them in some very respectable set ups.



** Be careful who and what you respect.


They have a very distinctive 70's East coast sound,



** Err - you meant West coast ??


I was offered a pristine pair just recently.
The front grilles are missing but the walnut grille surrounds
are there. I am wondering what they are worth.
Does 650e sound reasonable??


** I would not have them in my home if you paid me.

FYI:

I was kinda forced to listen to a pair a few years back, confirming all my earlier opinions.

**** awful.
