Best JBL's you have heard

I have a pair of highly regarded speakers that sell in the $4,000 price range. Several months ago I purchased a pair of JBL L200B's off Audiogon. I am amazed at the sound quality of the JBL's. Comparing both speakers back and forth, the 200's more than hold their own. I have two questions: first, is it just me or have any of you had similiar experiences with vintage speakers, and second, what are the best JBL speakers you have heard?

Its been quite a while since I've heard the Paragon and original Hartsfield. I heard a modern version of the Hartsfield (TAD drivers) at THE SHOW (next door to CES) and it sounded pretty good, but it is really pricey. I have seen the K-2 horn system that is currently in production, but unfortunately I did not get to hear them.

I like the L300 more than the L200. The L300 would be a quite competitive item in the market today, aside from its appearance and size.

Has anyone compared the 250ti and the L300 Summit?
