Commentary
This speaker system was born as a crystal of sound technology and woodworking technology of JBL.
The D50S8 has a 2-way configuration before 1964 and a 3-way configuration after 1964.
There were two variations of the enclosure finish : a hand-carved grid grill and a cloth grill.
The difference between these models is represented by the model number, with the grid grill ending with -2 and the cloth grill ending with -1.
