You really need 200 wpc + to wake them up but they will sound good with just about any amp 100 wpc up. I was driving a pair with my Marantz 2325 (125 wpc) a month ago and my 250ti's sounded great, normally I run 700 wpc.
I agree with the 200w + recommendation. Personally, a bit more volume and the larger 200w amplifier changed my thoughts on what they are capable of. It still seems that a little more would be good thing. The manual recommends 400 wpc max. and more power used responsibly is likely not bad either.
I've tried a 150 wpc Marantz ST7 and it didn't do much for me. It never had a complete checkup and that may have been a factor.
I know this asking a lot , but does anyone have a picture of one with the correct drivers ?
Is this correct ?
YesIs this correct ?
Sound should be very precise, great imagery, bass is a little tight but not as tight as say the L100s.
Thank youIn these photos you can see the latter use of Teak wood and the silver dome tweeter.

Is your model different from this one using a 5" midrange? It seems to possess the same challenge as other models of its day pushing that driver to a too-high crossover point (5.2 khz or a 2.6" wavelength) compromising its directivity up top.The small 3" mid looks correct...
What does your question have to do with this thread? and the questions in the OP?Is your model different from this one using a 5" midrange?

The brochure included polar response curves, but notably absent is one at the crossover point. Sure, a 5 incher does just fine at 2 khz (about where the LSR6332 crosses today), just not an octave+ above.
If the unit is a 3 incher, it would appear to not be standard.What does your question have to do with this thread? and the questions in the OP?
Sorry I didn't break out a tape mesure, but now I did. The paper cone is 3 and 1/4 inches, the cone and surround is 3 and 3/4 inch, the frame from flat side to flat side is 4 and 1/2 inches, the frame from mounting point ends is 5 and 1/8. I think my description is closer than JBLs.If the unit is a 3 incher, it would appear to not be standard.
That is typically how drivers are measured. Piston size is usually about an inch smaller.... the frame from flat side to flat side is 4 and 1/2 inches, the frame from mounting point ends is 5 and 1/8.
