Another awesome CL find.. JBL-S38II....minty fresh!!!

eclein · « **on:** 23 Dec 2010, 06:22 pm »

When I came home from the hospital last night I caught an ad on CL for some JBL's and some Chairs....all for $100. So I email the guy ask about speakers only he says $60 then comes right back with $50. I go to another forum that has a bunch of JBL freaks like me and everyone immediately said "Grab'em"...so I did....Its really hard to describe the sound, Full, plenty of Low end-Plenty!, smooth, dynamic.
I think my 4312A's maybe off to the side for quite awhile....anyway, its my Christmas present to myself...

ha ha ha...nope..Gene the next time you and Pman come down and up my way you gotta hear these. I'm blown away, my gear, these speakers are the perfect match for me. I'm done, I got something I could easily listen to until whenever. I know I'm like an excitable boy and all but holy mackarel....

You are banned from the Emoticon Depot until further notice! Hey - some people collect coins, some collect stamps and some collect JBL speakers.

Do you have any idea how many electrons had to die to bring us this dancing banana? Won't someone think of the children?

I know one must be ever so vigilant with Craigslist. There are a lot of people out there looking to scoop up the DEALS. The early audiophile catches the JBL.

I figure every dollar saved on posters and accessories is one extra dollar towards more JBLs on Craigslist. Perhaps one day I can vist the EClein Allentown Museum of JBL History.

Enjoy and
Merry Christmas

Chris- Happy Holidays my friend from the Eastern Shore!!!!!!!
I'm so grateful right now to have found AudioCrcle and be exposed to so much great knowledge. I never knew music could sound so good, I thought that the only way to achieve great sound was gonna require robbing a bank or selling my car...not the case at all, Pumpkinman was here one day and we added up my total system costs and it was like $1350 and I got computer stored music, Nice high end CD player, great amp, great DAC.....it can be done on a budget, even a budget of like zero.
