    1200 miles!

    I always wanted a pair of piano black 250ti's, and a pair came up 4 years ago in Minnesota. I n perfect condition for 3k, so I drove 1,200 miles to pick them up. They sure can handle lots of power...

    I intend to box up my 250ti's, return to and unbox my old 1400's. I prefer the admittedly less efficient but more polite sound of the 1400's.

    The 1400's do have a subdued top end, exacerbated by...

    I've owned 4350's and now own the 250ti's and 1400's.

    The 4350's were loud and dynamic but that's about all I could say that is positive. The 250ti's are just OK great dynamics, plenty of slam....

    I resurrected this thread to let you know the results.

    I replaced the crossovers caps in my old L212's many years ago with Solens. The difference was well worth it IMO - sounded so much better.

    Someone has messed around with the terminals. The black stripe lead with female spade terminal connects to the positive (+) speaker connection. This means the tweeter is in anti-phase - unless the...

    250ti Top End

    Hi Everyone.

    I have a pair of 250ti's - the later gloss black early 90's versions.

    They sound great except for the top end. The best way to describe it is shreaky/steely - particularly on...
