Way back when I bought some of the very first JBL 2225 speakers available I could find and they had a tan colored frame. I also bought some JBL 2425 drivers when they first came out and they were also tan'ish in color. They also had the throat "collar" that was actually bolted on to the driver body. I also heard that some of the very first 2225 speakers used the left over alnico baskets from 2205's ect.
I have since seen a couple of the tan 2425 drivers in the past couple of years. Just wondering if JBL color coded the first run of a new product for some reason. Got to thinking about this after reading another post on speaker frames. Anyone else seen or had any of these.
