That's what wuz in my JBL metregon, that and cast 30lb treeters. Monster
system I just couldn't move with. Killed me to sell 'em. Another great
speaker, also no longer around, was ESS. Their passive radiator design gave
them killer bass response.

Harman-Kardon now owns the JBL brand, but will not honor lifetime warranties
on older JBL speakers, as I found out when a design flaw in one of my
tweeters revealed itself after 40 yrs use.
