JBL L250Ti vs. L300 Summit


I want to upgrade my speaker system with JBL's and have never had the opportunity to listen to either of these big boys. However I hear that both are terrific speakers, but would like your opinion. Thanks in advance.

I have heard both. The 250Ti's are a refined sound. They have gut shot bass that is there if on the recording and very natural. The mids are clean and clear. They excel at vocals and soundstage. The tweeter is smooth and clean. I use a BAT 300XSE to drive them. They were too laid back for me until I put silver interconnects in the chain. Ahhh yes.
They are 1998 JBL 250Ti Classics from Germany with a list price of $7500. Most audiophiles would be amazed at their sound. I had a Paragon at one time and the 250Ti's are far superior. The L300 is a different sounding speaker as it has the horn. I like it and wouldn't mind having a pair. I also have the Dali MS4's and they are a treat. Currently I am trying to decide if I am going to keep the Dali's or the JBL's.
Ive owned them both as well as 4350 ect.the l250 will be smoother and is more audiophile like. The woofers can handel Very high current to keep up with the rest of the drivers id go with at least 300 a side with big time reserves. Ive ran 750 watt Crown delta omegas on the the l300. ( Not Summit) and the amp could be driven to rated.
You might want to look at the 4430 and 4435. Thes I clipped the *&^% out of the mono blocks:) the Biradial 4435 are very stable in terms of imaging properly ste up you will snap your neck following the imaging. With the L250 the B460 subwoofer is a natural partner. A nice Sleeper is is the L150 will compare with these systems for a lot less.
Thanks for the response. I currently have both the Jubals and the L200Bs. I have a Rowland Concentra that really smooths both speakers out, gives a very detailed, refined sound with great sound stage and imaging. I want to get to the next level, then call it quits as far as upgrading and sit back and enjoy. Thanks again
Yep they are a lot of fun Great speakers. I had the L200 and Jubals also. Good Luck with your venture. Check Lansing heritage.com use search
Just got done listening to my 250TI's. Four CD's and three diffent interconnects. WOW!
The silver interconnects are probably going to stay in the chain. They are just a touch "hot" but so coherent and detailed in sound. They are cleaner and cleared and actually have better, deeper and fuller bass. The guy that sold these to me never broke them in. They have improved substantially in sound in the last 100 hours. He said he used them for about 150 hours but never really played them loud. I don't think he ever really even heard them as they are only sounding great in the last 20 or so hours of playing time. Again--- WOW!! They are excellent.
