JBL 250 TI or JBL 4425 please vote

Xiekitchen,the angled woofer is the Everest.(Ha good luck,Pretty Rare)Believe it or not the 250 will get louder than most people think and still be very accurate and go very low. Don't EVER listen to someone who says Watts are all the same!!! Although my 250's are hooked to a Krell KSA 250,my baby Krell (KSA 100MkII)will not walk but CRUSH most amps that are rated four times its' output. Depth,soundstage,delicacy and SLAM is all possible with the correct amplifier. Hell even a Aragon 4004MKII sounds pretty damn good. What ever you go for, don't shortchange the speaker (or you)!! QUALITY power brings these toys to another level!!!

Krelladdict.. yep, you are right about the 'watts the same' I had a 50 wpc Forte 1a romped all over a SAE 200 watter for example..

To even the playing field to make a fair comparison I think the thread should have been the 250 TI's vs the JBL 4430. Now its two speakers of equal size and cost.

Ditusa, please tell me who is the overall winnder JBL 250ti or JBL 4430 ?

both are great speakers and different design approaches, however i believe the jbl 4430 is more coherent, more dynamic, better transient response and has better impact on the high and mid freq. now on the other hand, the 250ti's have more detail and the bass is more "in your chest" where the bass in the 4430 is more "in your gut"! overall my vote is with the jbl 4430 as i believe it has a more "live" factor then the 250ti. as a general rule, i compare speakers not to one another but to "live" events.
