JBL revisited

[rommell]

Yep, I had the same mental picture. It was Judge Reinhold and his character was "Ken Kessler". The speakers were the Definator X-1
by the way!
Still, great value for money if you want a lot of sound for not much dosh (I don;t think they'll be any bids).

Ken Kessler! Brilliant! Yes, that's it, the Definator X-1. "And when you die, they can bury you in them..."

Not only don't they make speakers like they used to...they don't make movies like they used to as well.

wow, I'd love those Polks (if I had a big enough room)

I'd stick a whacking great amp through them and some very loud, neighbour disturbing kind of music.


Sounds like FUN!!!!

I know, I know, even banged up pairs change hands for over $1,000 in the US. That pair looks as mint as can be and would fetch $2,000 over there - check out the Polkaudio forum (they cost $3,500 new in 1991 and that was a lot back then).

Someone bloody buy them. Get some dialogue going with the seller and snap them up for £400 when he doesn't get any bids (I predict).

Feck it, I've just emailed the seller for the hi-res photos.

Beware, that Polk auction is a scam. The reply from the "seller" was in bad English and they offered to sort out the shipping, etc. If I gave them £1,500. Yeah right.

I emailed them back saying I was reporting them to eBay!!
