http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...787613812&rd=1 This auction looks way too similar and doesn't seem kosher either (supposedly a different user on the other side of the country).
Barely any description at all about such a complex speaker system. With such a reasonable starting bid, you'd think they might list a few features and specs, maybe list exactly what's included to try and bring the price up. At least they're willing to ship them worldwide. That shouldn't be any hassle!!!
Wouldn't pay anything without seeing the speakers first... Or go to pay and pick them up in a dark alley...lol
I've already alerted Ebay to a possible scam. Phishing like this is wire fraud; a federal felony.
A rememberance of things past

I remember comparing a similar JBL configuration with AR3a's. In physical appearance, of course, the JBL's were by far the more impressive. With regard to sound it was a different matter the AR3a's more detailed, very much smoother and far better balanced across the spectrum. On the other hand the JBL's could really rock even with modest power.
The time of the big shift...

I agree. Speakers like the big Altec's and JBL's were fantasy speakers when I was growing up. The Advent (pun) of the acoustic suspension speaker, and the "New England" renaissance in speaker design, changed the whole "Hi-Fi" scene for a lot of us. To wit; I Still have a vintage pair of mid 70's KLH Model 6 doing daily duty in a tertiary system!
