Have your 250Ti's needed the woofers refoamed?
Thanks Dan, know if those can be those be actively biamped with an electronic crossover?

tony-w.......Judging from the photo of the rear of the JBL 250Ti, it looks like you can remove the jumpers, and bi-amp them.

You got to look real hard to seek out a source for them and then be willing to buy them without hearing them. "TRUST in JBL" they should call it. Perhaps in New York, LA, or Chicago you can fine dealers that stock them. Alot of the big buck speakers they offer now are available in the US, but the cost is way up there and at least in my area (Michigan) no one is stocking any of them. Gone are the days of walking into the local HiFi shop and being able to listen to JBL. Most of us just keep the vintage stuff up and running and keep wishing that maybe someday JBL will once again offer what they sell in Japan to the US market. I have no idea where I'd put any more however! Cheers, Frank
Thanks Frank,
I wonder how hard it is to find something like a JBL K2 S5500 or higher model in the US.

Default JBL Grille touch ups
Tony, check out any good woodworkers store. They carry a line of felt tip markers in any number of colors that will touch it up just fine. Sometimes a very very light sanding afterwards makes the color match even better. You got to be gentle doing this, but it can be done. Cheers, Frank

Like Frank, I also have a pair of 250Ti's. They are in my main 2 channel system ....MC402, C2200, Denon DCD 1500. Have had the 250's since 1987 when I bought new. Had not had them re foamed, the surrounds are not cracked and still flexible. Also have had L166's and for a short while paragon. At the time, I don't believe I realized how special the paragon was. Still have some L26's and L36's which run off my Marantz 4400. So I guess you could say I have been a JBL guy for a long time.

Currently run 4430's in my main system. Also have a mint pair of 4311WXA, 2 pair L45, and 2 pair 4674A. Have had L112, L100, L7 and XPL160. Love the JBL - McIntosh synergy.
