Dan, I was able to pick up a pair of new Drivers when they needed to be redone. I have since had the original ones redone and have them as a spare pair. I also own the 240Ti, 120Ti, and the 18Ti. Our home is furnished with teak woods so they are a natural when the situation requires it! All the other JBL's I own are in the Walnut finish except for the L-36 which are in oak and my 2KTi's are in beech along with the matching center channel speaker. The biggest part of the collection is in my basement audio museum, as my wife calls it. Right now my biggest job is to get the "museum" organized. It's hard to even walk in there right now. I need to get everything where it needs to be so the display looks nice and also so I can listen to every one of them. I have several projects waiting for me right now involving veneering. I have a set of the L-300's that I've always wanted to recover in Teak veneer. Maybe they could move on up to the living room someday. I know some guys say don't do it they will drop in value. That's only true if I wanted to sell them, which I don't. The ones I have sport JBL blue grilles. I also have a second set of L-36's that I plan to recover in rosewood. These also have the blue grilles and would set off very nicely in that combination. Another project I'm playing with is to rebuild the fretwork grilles for a set of Apollo's. It's going pretty good so fair, but it takes lots of time and a stead hand and a good eye to be sure the parts I'm replacing are of the same vintage as the ones I'm working on. These grilles seem to be in all different thicknesses of wood so finding a match takes time. Then sometimes once built it ends up being larger then the frame work it needs to fit into. Hey it keeps me off the streets! Cheers, Frank
