    Really can't believe I am in this position already, I have only owned the 250TI's for a year and foresaw them in my future until I was at least into my 30's and financially established. The newer Jbl models just were priced way out of my league but thanks to good fortune they are something I will now experience. So excited!

    The more I think about the low frequency response the more I draw up conclusions in my head. I think the 250ti's will have a fuller bass and obviously dig a tad deeper. I imagine the 3900's will be a little drier and presumably faster. Hoping the 3900's will punch the same or better. If I am going to sacrifice the full bass and depth of the 250TI's I hope to get a little more punch from the 3900's.

    I may consider selling my 250TI's with my DIY B460. If i were to go for a sub it would be a more modern counterpart like an array 1500 or DIY SUB1500. I know I can get a SUB1500 quite easily. Selling the 250ti's and b460 would easily pay the 3900's, a DIY Sub1500 and hopefully pocket some change towards a new ute.
    Good luck with that Kelossus.

    Personally having owned older horn loaded speakers 4350, L200's and now the newer 1400 Array. I have to say that horns have come a long way. The 1400's are very neutral, laid back and polite - almost too much for my taste.
    If you want to sell your 250ti's please PM me.

    BTW: People may be wondering what a ute is - its called pickup here!

    Interesting regarding the 1400 array. The way you described them was initially what I thought of the 250ti's. After charge coupling everything came to life and while they don't have the mid-range sock of the l300's they are a far better listen.

    I would certainly sell them but sending them to the US would be very costly for you and I imagine it would work out way cheaper to source them locally.

    Don't do that, wait till you can give them a listen and try to stay objective... or at least candidly subjective
    The 100Fe woofers in the S3900 are impressive beasts that seem to punch far above their weight.
    Totaly different beasts compared to the Array 800 woofers...
