Ouch!

I'm not sure which is the more painful option, footing the bill for 4 large format drivers, or sourcing a pair of single throats.

Interesting.....I got plenty of large format drivers lying around....:scratch2:

 

[Brad Muller]

They sure look cool.:yes:

They sound very, very good (at least with 288s on 'em).

I saw a pair of them 288's the other day at a local hifi reseller.

I used to think that 802's were big.

 

[mhardy6647]

288s are heavy, too -- but dang can they sound good...

I almost dropped a 288 on my foot once. Fortunately I *somehow* managed to catch it.

JBL 2445 isn't exactly light. A friend grabbed it for me from a CL ad, when he asked what he was supposed to be picking up, I told him that it would resemble a giant, 45 lb. hockey puck.
