Offering a pair of JBL C56 Dorian speakers from late 1960's. Contains the famous LE14A LF driver and the LE175DLH HF horn driver with the "potato masher" lens. All drivers perform as-new. The dividing network is the LX10. All original drivers and crossover. The Lansaloy woofer surrounds are in stunning operational condition, are pliable, and have not been altered with application of any "lubricant." The textured woofers in the original off-white color are stain free.

The cabinets look terrific, with some minor surface issues that I leave to the new owner to address or not as he prefers. The original grilles fit snugly, and the material is intact and free of holes, though they are dirty. I chose not to clean them myself, as I am not expert in those techniques. Please refer to my photographs to be sure physical appearance will be satisfactory to you.

In addition to cosmetic flaws, one of the crossovers is not working properly, and must be set to the highest level. My assumption is that cleaning the crossover contact surfaces will resolve the problem. However, more substantive repair may be required, so please consider that risk prior to purchase.

Speakers stands visible in photos are not included. They are not original. I preferred the sound with the speakers raised from the floor, so I set them on stands I happened to have handy.

As connoisseurs of vintage audio equipment well know, these speakers are highly collectable. They are high efficiency speakers that can be matched to a wide variety of amplifiers, including low wattage SET amps, with outstanding sonic results. I am the second owner of this particular pair, which have been well kept and cared for their entire life. If you are local to Raleigh NC and/or want to pick them up when purchased, I will be happy to demo.

$175 shipping via Greyhound PackageXpress station to station bus service, to be paid by buyer. Extremely reliable, and far less likelihood of damage than services that toss packages on and off conveyor belts and trucks. Fully insured. Buyer must pick up speakers at receiving bus station.
