How does the JBL L250Ti hold up as a modern speaker?

I'm intrigued by the JBL L250Ti as it's one of Greg Timber's favorite speakers over his long career at JBL (Greg Timbers ). Anyone heard or owned this speaker? I'm a sucker for big speaker, in this case a massive 4-way with a 14" woofer that is still considered by many to be a modern-day woofer.
There is a pair nearby that need to be re-foamed for $1500.

This speaker rarely seems to come up for sale.

It probably can not match the linearity of a modern speaker. Nonetheless, it still may be OK. If it used ceramic capacitors, those might have changed values a lot over the years, so it may need some new caps.

At that pricing, it wouldn't be my first choice unless you wanted a vintage sound system. I would be looking at HECO Aurora 1000s or save up a bit more and get some Polk Reserve R700s. JBL HDI series can be had for pretty big discounts as well.
