I have a pair of JBL L65's which I purchased around 1977. haven't played them in years and wouldn't mind selling them. I have a vague recollection of the L250TI's. Are they book shelf speakers? The jubals are floor standing but quite short. If you are interested in thew L-65's you can e-mail me at billgraz@earthlink.net. By the way - I take it from the manner in which you labeled your post that you are not in the diplomatic corps.
