Hi there,
wow this is a cool thread. I thought I was a dinosaur because I love the 4411's overr the newest Mackie, Event whatever. Good to see I am not alone.
Here is my plight. My 4411's one anyway, I have a fuzz rattle in the mid. Doing research it looks like it is a LE5-9. The voice coil center is convex black and the cone is brown.
I run with LE5 and found a pair and bought them off Ebay. Didn't pay attention to the concave voice coil in brown on brown cone. (LE5-2)
Was this a totally stupid thing to do? It seems reading through your threads here, that they are inferior. I am not even sure if the large Alnico mag will fit in the enclosure. I know there is a lot of info on here showing the differences but are these rendered not usable? Should I just find the LE5-9 and call it a day.? The reason I ask is that I am in love with the 4411's as my playback system. I use a pair of Sound craft smaller units for nearfield and the 4411's for reference and well..you know...awww factor when the mix is complete. I instantly had a true mix with these in pretty well any enviroment including the car. Aside from all the excellent matrix information the users on this board provide, I want to know what I should expect first off and if the Alnico mag is "honky" compared to the -9s Without the specs as I rely on my ears.
Thanks in advance for any summaries you can give me.
Help guys.
