Is there anyone that can redo the grills on these speakers? Mine are showing there age, but not terrible.

They're pretty easy to re-cover, which is what most folks do. Just buy enough fabric to do it a few times in case you screw up. The biggest mistake commonly made is to stretch the fabric too tight, causing it to come loose after a while. Any decent contact cement or spray-on craft adhesive will do. Just look closely at how the originals are done and copy that.

The brown is an exact match for original JBL brown, both in color and texture. The main difference is that the new stuff only stretches in one direction, where the old stuff stretches in both directions. That makes the new stuff a little more challenging to wrap on the corners.

Does anyone make grills for the 250TI speakers?

I saw some L250's grills that were done in a real dark blue (almost looked black),
gave an updated appearance. If there were some extra frames laying around, I'd
cover them in that color and change periodically during the year.

I did dye black my Ohm Walsh F grills, and the improvement was dramatic.

That large expanse of brown, sometimes is too much.

I had a couple JBL L100T plastic grills re-covered with JBL orange fabric by Huntley Audio. He did a FANTASTIC job! Just an option if you decide to not do it yourself.

His handle is gsb001. Website here: http://www.huntleyaudio.com/
