I just sold a pristene D130 a couple months ago, all original, no recone, for $150.00. The guy I sold it to is a friend, I could have probably gotten $200.00 to $225.00 if I had tried.

I have seen vintage virgins go for $400 if it has "that sound". That is probably the high side of the price range. I have purchased vintage virgins for around $200.

So, thanks for the info so far, I believe I have Two virgins, tell me the qualifications for virginity in a JBL, is it the number stencilled on the inside of the cone ?
My two are 16ohm, is this a disadvantage ? Virgins with a high resistance  |

Bump
The Nashville 112 sounds better after the speaker has been broken in, I've heard.  |

As a schoolboy it always seemed that all virgins had a high resistance. |

Alan,
After third grade they both went away.

Well, I've never seen "virgin" used in this context. But presumably it means the same as "new old stock (NOS)", which are stock items (tubes, etc.) that were made long ago, but that have never been used. I don't know how you would verify that a speaker has never been use. And, unlike tubes made out of metal and glass, speakers are made out of paper, which ages with time, whether there is use or not. Any serial numbers, etc. are completely irrelevant to the concepts of "virgin" and "NOS," as they say nothing about whether something has been used or not.
The ohm rating doesn't have much to do with anything, except what configuration of speakers is used with whatever amp. You always need to match the speaker system ohm rating to what the amp wants to see. Most Fender amps were designed to see 4 ohms. So that could be a single 4 ohm speaker, or two 8 ohm speakers in parallel, or a 4 speaker system with two 16 ohm speakers in series wired in parallel with two other 16 ohm speakers in series.
And regardless of the stock ohm rating, speakers can be reconed to different ratings. So with old, potentially reconed speakers, you need to measure to be sure what you have. |

Sorry Dave, my mistake..Probably misleading then in this case. Virgin on the JBL forums refers to ORIGINAL cone and voice coil.
Obviously with a speaker of that age it would be used and broken in, but "not reconed, original in every way" SHOULD have been my description. |
