Best JBL's you have heard

I have a pair of highly regarded speakers that sell in the $4,000 price range. Several months ago I purchased a pair of JBL L200B's off Audiogon. I am amazed at the sound quality of the JBL's. Comparing both speakers back and forth, the 200's more than hold their own. I have two questions: first, is it just me or have any of you had similiar experiences with vintage speakers, and second, what are the best JBL speakers you have heard?

Nothing wrong with vintage. Most vintage speakers were built better than many of those today. Good design and craftsmanship will stand the test of time.

The best JBL's I have ever heard were the XPL-200's. Talk about dynamics. Wow! I am still looking for a pair to buy today.

I did own two pairs of L100T's and thought they were great sounding speakers, too. But the XPL's, what a loudspeaker...
