I agree with Dave that the price sound ok.
Things to consider - you probably don't come across the JBLs very often in
Europe, so if you get one in the USA, you'll have to add something close to
a $100 for shipping (I know - I did that).
Also note that sometimes original cones are brittle, and when you start
playing them again after not being played for a while, they crack (happened
to me with both the original cones I got). So, depending on the condition of
the speaker and luck, I guess, you might be facing a recone. I'd rather have
my money spent on a JBL than an Eminence in that case.
Good luck,
Ran
