I have listed a pair of JBL 120Ti for sale on CL at a reasonable price (to me...) And here's a response I just received:
==== Subject: You're an idiot
Where are you coming up with these pseudo "facts"?
1. Rarely come up for sale;
2. These were JBL's venture into more accurate voicing to appeal to audiophiles.
3. These do not have the rock n roll west coast sound of the L100;
4. midrange dust caps have some small dimples (they all do);
Yours are in such poor condition that I wouldn't give you anywhere near what you're asking. Yours are very close to being garbage; i.e. no respect was given to these otherwise wonderful speakers. They should never have been in your possession. The Ti series were ALL iconic for reasons that you'll never know. This is why there were only 4 of them in the series, and why they were given their own series and not lumped into the "L" series, which were cheaper speakers like the "L-100." JBL sold hundreds of thousands of pairs of L-100 speakers and were the mainstay of the company. JBL sold "L" series speakers like water over a waterfall. The Ti series were ALL very expensive for reasons that are far more obvious than their outside looks. I doubt you know the differences. Yes, the 250Ti was the most iconic of the series due, in small part, to it's shape but the entire series were exemplary. "West Coast sound;" what a bunch of bullshit. If you understood the Ti series, you would never had said that stupid statement. The Ti series could, and did, play Rock and Roll equally as well as Bach. That's one of the reasons that set them apart - - their equal ability to successfully play all types of music.
Tell me, what is special about the Voice Coils of the Ti series' Drivers?
Where were you in the 1980's?
I was there, 4 miles from the Northridge facility and took more tours than you'll ever know - - including the Ti series. I even watched as my 240's, and then my 250's, were being built from start to finish. You were undoubtedly in diapers - - if at all.
So, don't spout off with your dumb "facts." You know nothing of the Ti speakers, except your absolutely poor care. Unfortunately, your 120's have made mine more valuable. Yes, I own multiples of each speaker in the series. No West Coast sound. What bullcrap!
Look at the condition of your 120's. Aren't you ashamed at what you've done to them? It would take me many, many hours of work to bring them back to life; that's how bad yours are in your hands. Tsk, Tsk, Tsk, dumbass.
