[quote user="Jorge"]One more thing about the JBL 375, I did play around with them enough, I aligned the diaphragms several times untill they sounded their best and were very listenable, This was some time ago now, I didnt turn my horns then, so I tr...

the sad truth was the space, the finite funds, and the available bms pucks! the sad truth also, i suppose,the lack of available, and sensitive horn users to bounce off of!i could probably see what your dislike of the bms stems from-- i tried to...

I did not see in your post any “sad truth about BMS”I would stick in the JBL 2440. It is relatively inexpensive. Has practically the same performance as the hipped JBL 375 and all together a good performer. It’s diaphragms are wildly available and it...

[quote user="ayebee"] The horns that Stereo Lab make are very good, especially considering the relatively modest prices. I bought the "Ultra-Fi" version of the 140Hz horns and they are of course not completely free of resonance ….Present system consi...

These are clearly JBL pots and back covers (which have been milled flat). The refinishing job is quite nice, but the origins are clear. Also, the phenolic diaphragm is clearly for the 2482/2485 (and looks like a JBL part), which has a slightly wider ...

A six year ago or so when I played with different compression drivers I bought a pair of Dukane 5A540 and at that time I was not able to find any information about them. Nowadays I was pointed out that an eBay sealer “ bayleafs” actions a pair of Duk...

[quote user="op.9"]Anyhow, what are the 2" comp drivers that ARE any good and are available comercially? I didnt go with any JBLs because I had a very bad time with the 2427 1" version, could never get any music out of it. [/quote]
I would be surpri...

Hi,Finally, I have time to build some horn speakers and learn what is it, bought JBL 2440 drivers and before my frame will by finish (next week) and horns will arrive I want to renovate those drivers. My question is:Can I take off that "grainy" topc...

Romy wroteStill, somebody Armen reports that Cessaro with $2K TAD driver were compatible to Silbaone… so what the purpose to pay more than $700 for a pair of JBL 2440?
I must say sound of Cessaro was far more sofisticated than Si...

JBL 2441 also seems interesting candidate, perhaps "smoother" than 2440:Duke LeJeune of Audiokinesis recommends them as a "poor man`s TAD"Beyma CP755ND/AL 1.4"http://profesional.beyma.com/ENGLISH/pdf/descarga.php?pdf=CP755NdAL.pdfSome interesting alu...

[quote user="cv"] That said, I do have is a single 160Hz/1.5" finally up and running on a compression driver, and it's a different world - stunning. Actually the results are exactly as JJ described. [/quote] The JJ, is it Jeffrey Jackson? I have no i...

Romy,I took your advice and now have a single 2440 driver. At least i THINK its a 2440. On opening it i find that it has a phenolic diaphragm! Have I been sold something else? I was not aware that there were ever any phenolics for the 2440 family. Wa...

Interesting, according to the link the guy moved from 4 Goto drivers to Rulited Lowther and Foxtex. I wonder if he got sick to burn his Goto drivers. I also wonder what would happen if insted all of it he use the default JBL 2440. Surly, both Goto an...

Terry,
I did found that PP amps were good to drive BAD compression drivers (with ceramic magnets). The irony was that the better amps to drive the ceramic magnet were not just the PP amps but the solid state PP amps. Do not ask me why – I do not kno...

Op, I clearly have no idea as I never have seen/heard about the 2440 with phenolic diaphragm. Who know perhaps they did it. The phenolic diaphragms were the invention in late 60-70s and a remedy against the nastiness of the first SS amplificatio...

[quote user="ArmAlex"]The price is 167,000 Euro I was told. The material they used for bass cabinet at least looked like MDF. Sound was much better than any speaker I've heard in show, expect Cessaro which was wonderful. BTW Marten, Kharma, Focal, Ma...

I had a SG370 mid apart only yesterday.I should have taken a photograph.I have also seen the inside of the tweeter.They are very similar,so I have no reason to suppose the low mid SG 505 will be much different.I'll try to explain.I think they a...

Yep, Stefano, it looks like we do have similar views about the subjects we touched. Let go back to exploring one of the terra incognito of compression driver – the sound of Goto.
I would insist is that to judge sound of Goto driver from the installa...

then the idea of amp bypassing is relevant to the "clean signal" discussion. But regardless of the measured voltage out vs. driver sensitivity I suspect that there is too little of something in the way of drive and control between a&n...

Well, do not be under impression that vintage drivers are an assurance of some kind of quality. They are not; in fact in most of the case the opposite is true. I always...

Robert, what I meant is following: when you will be collecting requirements for you own drivers specification and will evaluate the implementation methods then you need to have you own identity what you are trying to do. I might post a lot of differe...
