Show your JBLs off

I recently stubbled upon these JBL's the bass bins are 4638 and the horn drivers are 2446h they also came with a pair of 8340. They were part of a massive system in a Ciniplex theatre in downtown Toronto Canada. The bass bins weigh 139lbs and the Horns weigh about 60lbs. They will be part of a vintage system I'm putting togetherIMG_1884.JPGIMG_1883.JPG
 
Im driving these with speakers with three Yamaha P2200 I bought new in 1978,through a DBX 260 Drive Rack for my cross over network. I'm using a Nikko Beta 30 for my pre-amp, Technics 1200 MK1 turntable. Denon DN-D 4000 CD platform, Teac X 1000R reel to reel

I suggest a minidsp for these to help dial them in. Basically a more sophisticated equalizer.
 
I haven't gotten the chance to send these woofers out for refoam but a near mint set of L220 speakers. Once a set of my Polk sda's sell the woofers will get the much deserved refoam.

Stunning and jaw dropping! You're one of the few AKers with Kenricks JBL's.
Shoot a video and post it in the video thread, please! We would like to get a tease on how these sound!
Cheers, Glenn
 
I've had several pair of these over the last few years.
-made grills for this pair-
the previous owner managed to do a serious nicotine stain on the woofers.

Surprised those woofers aren't suffering from Emphysema.
 
and of course the dude had cats and the cats clawed at the woofer bottoms and clawed a hole in the surround which i didn't have an accordion surround donar piece
so i used a piece of spider from a CV i had!

I just acquired a beautiful set of JBL L212's with a working B212 Ultrabass in immaculate condition. Had an Issue with one of the 066 tweeters not working. With some help from Members here on the AK site it was repaired and the system sounds great!! I also had this same system back in 1981 eventually sold it to get a pair of 4343's.
