Well, I have my new-to-me JBL 4530 scoop bass cabs set up in my space and am just blown away by the tight bass. I couple folks said I'd need a sub, but I am starting to wonder. The bass goes very low....at least for me. The cabs are built of 13 ply Baltic bearch and are VERY WELL CONSTRUCTED. They are not JBL made, but that are exactly to spec. There are a couple of nail pops that are not noticable unless you really look. The Edgarhorns with the JBL 2441 (w/radian diaphragms) and Heils are seemless on the cab, top to bottom. The imaging, dynamics, and clarity are outstanding. I am very impressed overall. Each cab weights twice as much as my Jensen Imperals and are so much more beautiful.
My room is 20' wide X 30' deep and the speaker face are 14' from my nose. The ceiling is accoustic tile, carpet floor, cloth furnature, and cloth drapes. At the end of the room, it turns left into the living room and when the weather is hot I can open up four sliding glass doors, so winter or summer, the bass has somewhere to go. If any of you are in the S.E. Michigan area, you are welcome to stop by for a listen. Cheers and thanks for your help.
P.S., I stuck the JBL 136a in for the time being. If they sound this good, I can't wait to get the 2225s in. In the third pic you can see my old tenis shoes holding up the 2441s. That was fine with the old IMPS, but now I have to make a stand that matches the cabs.
