I was wondering if anyone knows the scoop with JBL's tent sale. A while back they blew a bunch of 2245 18" off cheap ($105/ea) as most of you know already. What's the deal with that ...were these drivers junk or what? The single drivers for sale now (and what is "b" stock) can be bought cheaper (in Canada anyway) from most any music shop!!!

I purchased several of those 2245's and they all arrived in perfect condition. Brand new, in their original shipping cartons and with all materials intact.

I ordered 2 of the 2245's and they were brand new in the box mint condition. There was a thread on the lansing heritage forum where people were speculating on why JBL "gave away" their drivers for so cheap. Check it out if you get a chance.

I agree with you though. The new B-stock stuff is a total ripoff. That stuff will be sitting in their warehouse at those prices.
