While I know this is subjective, I will be expanding my rig, and wonder what people think of vintage JBLs D130s versus black widows in 15". I have heard the black widows, and really like them, but haven't heard the JBLs. I can't think of a way to listen to them easily either, since I don't know anyone locally who has them. Thanks!

I have compared them and my opinion is that the JBLs sound better but only buy very a small amount.
The Black Widow 1504 will handle more power and be more durable.

Both the JBL's and the Black Widows give the listener a different take. If you use two, as I do, I recommend using one of each (Hal Rugg taught me that) as each really compliments the other by providing what the other lacks.
