I bought a set back in the 90's for a hundred. Back in the 70's bought a bunch of 755A's out of a closed hotel. I will not tell you what I sold them all for just say there have been many tearful nights.

I hope I can ease your pain a bit although OT. Went to lunch came back checked the local craigs. JBL speakers small ones 50 a pair large ones 100, bring 2 or 3 people for the big ones. Spoke with the gentlemen, his wife's grandfather was an ex JBL employee and had a pole barn full of over a 100 pairs of speakers. Someone came by with a flat bed truck and bought every pair. He said some were like furniture and were 7 or 8 feet long.

I wonder if he had receipts for all of those speakers or just wandered home with a pair every month or so.
