JBL 2226H, 2242H and 2235H

[old-fashioned]

Hi,

my name is Andreas.
I already introduced myself in the "Forum Announcements".

I bought a pair of used JBL 2226H and one 2242H from a cinema.
I´m wondering why the 18" has got lower Le than the 15"?!?
Are the motor designs quite different?

What driver would you prefer for its midrange resolution and distortion performance, the 2226H or the 2235H?

Best regards,

Andreas

You can see there the way how Le can be reduced on large voice coil drivers, such are mentioned 2242 or 2226.....
