Offered today by The Music Room: One pair of JBL 4310 Control Monitor Speakers. These classic speakers have a unique story. These were used as monitors in the famous Caribou Ranch recording studio in Nederland, CO back in the 70s. Joe Walsh, Michael Jackson, Chicago, Elton John, Frank Zappa - just a few of the notable artists that made recordings there. Here is a link to a story about the property - the speakers can be seen in the studio in one of the photos. These are the exact speakers listed here for sale that you will receive. While we do not have any substantiating documentation, the previous owner purchased them in 1982 directly from someone who worked at Caribou Ranch. Even if you don't appreciate the legacy of this particular set of speakers, they are a classic set of speakers that is in outstanding condition for their age. The sound quality is outstanding.
