''Due to the size and weight of the set. We wil (prefer) shipping either in two boxes, or we ask for a shipping quote for the best shipping options. Please reach out for more details. Current shown costs are not correct!''
Condition: Used - major cosmetic damage. The cabinet has achipp of the wood on the stand, scratches, and scuffs across the exterior. The front panel and grille cloth are clean and presentable. Structurally, the speaker still holds together, but the cabinet requires a paint job before regular use. Or a new vineer. As both speakers are no matched pair, Thecolour of the wood deviates a bit more. Nervetheless the real deal of JBL speakers. Sounds very good.

The JBL C35 is a respected classic from the James B. Lansing era, known for its robust D130 woofer and clear 075 tweeter, but the US$3,501 parts-only asking price is wildly ambitious compared to the typical used market. Ground truth from seven recent comparable listings shows a median of US$116, with the 75th percentile at only US$127; this listing exceeds that ceiling by nearly 30 times, making it a poor value unless it includes rare, unlisted components or provenance.
For a parts-only unit, the only worthwhile upside would be if the D130 and 075 are genuine, unmodified originals in salvaged condition that buyers can refurbish, yet even then, the price is unjustified. A fair deal for this speaker system sits near US$116, and a strong bargain appears around US$67. Unless the seller clarifies why this parts lot commands US$3,501, it is not a buying opportunity but a mispriced listing that ignores the real market for these beloved JBL classics.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
JBL traces its roots to 1946, when pioneering audio engineer James Bullough Lansing founded the company in Los Angeles, California, initially as James B. Lansing Sound, Incorporated. A veteran of loudspeaker design from earlier ventures like the Lansing Manufacturing Company and collaborations on Hollywood's first practical cinema systems, Lansing infused JBL with his relentless pursuit of acoustic clarity and fidelity. Though he passed away in 1949 amid financial strains, the brand endured under new leadership, accelerating in 1969 with acquisition by Harman International—now under Samsung—fueling global expansion and innovation.
JBL excels across professional and consumer audio realms, renowned for its loudspeakers that dominate studios, touring rigs, cinemas, and home setups. Iconic models like the D-130 woofer, Paragon stereophonic system, and L-100 Century defined eras of high-output sound, while modern lines span portable Bluetooth speakers, wireless headphones, soundbars, and pro monitors. The brand prioritizes robust transducers, advanced horns, and diamond-surround tech over niche components like turntables, DACs, or cables.
Positioned as a mid-tier powerhouse with pro-grade heritage, JBL commands respect among discerning buyers for delivering punchy, reliable performance at accessible prices, bridging live-event energy and home listening without high-end esoterica. Its vintage icons draw collectors, yet contemporary ubiquity in arenas and everyday gear cements market dominance for those valuing scale and excitement over boutique refinement.
