Now I just need some JBL horns and drivers. I was thinking about some large format JBL comp drivers. Maybe some 2440/2441.
Boy, that paint job made a big difference, didn't it? Those look downright . . . well, not 'purdy . . but attractively utilitarian? That's it.
Where do you intend to use these, Eli?
I think I can see a project in the making, allright. Big 'ole horns and drivers, active crossovers and eqs . . . . This is going to be fun to follow.
And, it'll be interesting to hear your thoughts on the big Altec vs. the big JBL systems.

The big 2395 lens atop a 4560 looks way too cool. Sounds good too with the 2440-2441.
Back when I worked security for Jam Productions I was sitting off to the side of the stage before a show and listening to recorded music played through a 4560 with a 2440 on a 2395 atop it. And I thought it was as good as anyone would need, even if the top end dropped like a rock around 10KHZ. And it looked <so> cool.

Which diaphragms do you prefer in the 2440/2441, stock or Radian? I believe the 2445 Ti phragms fit also.
I picked up some pro audio gear this week. Someone was moving and needed to get rid of a bunch of stuff cheap.
Anyways, in the lot of stuff is a pair of 4560 cabs. Can someone tell me if they are factory or not?
They are made out of plywood. They have a textured finish on them. If someone did build these at home, they did an excellent job.
They have all the internal bracing they should. Plus a nicely finished removable back panel for driver access.
Now of course they are pretty beat up from a band hauling them around. But nothing a new paint job can't fix.
Thanks

The 4560 cabs were empty.
I have been looking for a pair of JBL 2225 or 2226 anyways. 2225 seem to be a slightly better deal. And I could have them reconed as 2235.
And, besides cost, that's one of the reasons I must avoid the JBL hole. That company made so many attractive - and functionally superior - products that entering that domain could (would) be ruinous for a pauper like me. It's easy to understand the JBL addiction.
Now that you mention it, I do remember someone saying that the 2" drivers deliver all the VHF of a 1" driver, but with 50% less distortion.
That's exactly what the engineer in the article was saying. Wish I could find that article for you.
