#1 Tweeters with horns

Post by chris »

Hi, I have been given some JBL 075 tweeters with oak horns to be sold for a friend, I will put on ebay at sometime in the near future. I have tried them out with a simple crossover and they are sound very nice. So if anyone has any idea what the value of these might be? I would be very greatful.

Looking at the average sold prices mainly being sold in the USA, the average sold price on ebay is about £500 including the higher postage and not including the 20% tax. I am not sure about the oak horns as they are a one off £300-£500, is that about the right ballpark price?

I would question their salability at all. Any gaps or steps in the horn curve really messes up the gain and phase. The driver needs to be attached to a round to square adapter and the flat baffle must go. They look great.

Thanks for your reply "rowuk", yes the finish if very good, compared to my very large ribbon tweeters these have more focus but a much more narrow bandwidth in the frequency range.

I guess that I will return them at the weekend as I do feel they are within a specialist area of hi-fi so will be hard to sell.

I concur, you’d be entering a minefield.
