Up for sale is a matched pair of classic JBL Control 1 compact monitor speakers. These are great small-format studio or home audio speakers known for their clarity and durability. Both speakers are original JBL units with matching serials and factory terminals. Cosmetically, they’re in good shape overall, but both woofers show clear cone damage as seen in the photos. 

Despite the cosmetic issues, they still produce sound. They should be considered candidates for reconing, parts, or restoration.
