[QUOTE="Art Welter, post: 93119, member: 52"] Re: Vintage Community speaker system ID request. The version of the PBL you posted is probably prior to the "bow tie" version in the Community cut sheet. Looks like Community followed Emilar's lead in chopping off the "lips" of the PBL radial. Made it possible to get the horn a bit closer to the woofer, and made for a better truck pack than round horns. The PBL monitors were made in the same mid to late 1970s era as I recall. First (and last) time I'd seen them was October 28 1978, Carlo sound brought them in for monitors to Doc Holiday's with the Ozark Mountain Daredevils, one of the last shows I did while still partners with Eclipse Concert Systems in Minnesota. They had 1/6th octave White rotary knob EQs, which I thought was pretty cool, though the PBLs did not impress me much as floor monitors, came up past your knees. Looked like a pair of barrels in front of each performer. Art [/QUOTE]
