JBL must have sold thousands of those.

That's amazing!



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



** Err - you meant West coast ??


Oops, sorry. I was in LA recently and visited a rhythm section player from the Phil Spector "Wall of Sound" Orchestra. He had gold discs lining the walls of his listening room and a pair of JBL L100 Centuries. Besides vinyl he had a lot of 38 and 19cm/s tapes, backing tracks, rough mixes etc which were of great interest.
