JBL must have sold thousands of those. One still sees them in some
very respectable set ups. They have a very distinctive 70's East
coast sound, a bit bright for my taste.

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??

Replacement grilles for L100 arr available on e-Bay.

As to their sound I agree with Phil, bloody awful.

When I worked with the band JBL were looked upon as the best PA *drivers*
you could get. It took me a few years (and a few dollars) after that to
realise that most of their boxed home audio products are crap. I read
somewhere that JBL stands for "Junk But Loud" and I must say that I agree
when it comes to home audio.
