i bought a used 1972 Fender Twin Reverb a while back. the previous owner, a pedal steel player, had replaced the stock speakers with a pair of JBL E120s. I didn't like the sound of the JBLs especially, and the weight factor I didnt like (I gig every weekend), so I switched them out for a pair of Jenson C12Ks. I've tried selling the JBLs but no one seems interested in them. Even for $75 each. Is JBL a dead horse now? Unpopular? Opinions !

Few JBL aficionados are interested in the ceramic E-series speakers. OTOH, the alnico D- and K-series speakers remain in demand. I own about a dozen of them (12's and 15's) and have preferred them ever since I bought my first Dual Showman in 1969.

I have a pre-JBL J.B. Lansing speaker in an old Kustom 1x15 cab I have, and that speaker kicks ALL kinds of *ss.
