Hi everyone.

After many years of looking for a pair of 250ti's - I succeeded. Piano black Classics in mint condition. These are the European version that the original owner imported back into the US. They are labelled 250TI BQ - I have no idea what BQ means - I'm sure someone here will know.

Had to drive 2000 plus miles as the owner sensibly would not ship. Certainly they are worth the drive.

I was surprised just how big they are - never seen them live before.

So how do they sound? I set them up temporarily in my man cave next to my 1400's. Another surprise they sound more efficient. The 1400's are more neutral but the almost overwhelming bass not helped by the corner location. Whereas the 250's are more colored in that vocals are slightly chesty but otherwise the sound is open, airy, definitely more dynamic and incredibly clean driven by my Emotiva 600 watter. Cleaner and smoother than my old cherished 212's. I'm happy!

I will send some photos when I have sorted out my man cave.
