Greg Timbers Interview

I actually lost interest and stopped watching. I'll give it another go.

Have it playing in the background while you're doing something else, what I did. No way I could've just sat & listened to them both. Much of the material covered in the interviews went right over my laymen head, but I'd perk up when they got to talking about "this speaker vs that one" type of stuff.

I am only able to take just so much of the interviewer!

In the first interview I laughed because he didn't know any asymmetrical JBL models and had never heard of a 250.
You may have noticed that Greg staged himself in front of his black 250ti for the second interview but said nothing about them.

It's not just me then. I had a bit of a hard time with that dude too.

Yeah, in the first interview, Greg showed him his current speakers and that's where the interviewer asked how he came up with the asymmetrical design and Greg mentioned the 250.

Second interview the 250s are sitting right there the whole time.

Yep, isn't that something? Although in the first interview, I thought Greg said he no longer had 250ti's?

You know thinking about it. We are probably the worst to judge on JBL knowledge. How many years have we been here talkin about JBL lore?

Is there anything we haven't discussed to death?

Well, I know the 250's and even some of the 43xx models and I've only been lurking around here for a few years. Come to think of it, before I came on here, I knew the 250's, L150A's and L220's. I want to say I knew a whiff of the 250's, not entirely sure. So to put it in perspective, that dude is older than me and is running his own YouTube channel dedicated to audio. No excuse not to know better or as others have said, do his homework before interviewing a legend.

On a side note, it's too bad no one asked him about the 250ti vs the XPL200. Would've been cool if the UREI monitors were brought up in their coax discussion. I suppose one could argue that Greg did touch on them by saying he didn't really pay attention to products he wasn't involved with. They did touch on issues present with coax drivers, and perhaps that's why Greg hasn't bothered with them. Or did he?

I can see your point. We are primarily a vintage site and most the questions except for preference of 4343, 4345, 4355 were more focused on what's available now.

WRT prep work I did a search for Greg Timbers Interviews and there are plenty so yes he could have pulled them up and went trough them but he didn't.

Still good stuff though

Greg had a pair of prototype XPL 250's don't know if he still does.

There is a comparison between the 4315 and XPL-200 on the site https://www.audioheritage.org/vbulle...esigner-s-Post

He has one with Geedes I want to watch.

Thanks Rob!

I didn't realize there are more interviews with Greg out there, that's rad. I forgot all about Greg's thoughts on the 4315 vs XPL200! I do recall reading that at some point. As a former XPL200 owner, I concur about his assessment of the "fluffy" midbass, lack of kick from the 2214, needing to biamp and the killer midrange. The midrange presentation was my favorite part of those speakers.
