From Availability of JBL Consumer Transducers for DIY (http://www.audioheritage.org/vbulletin/showthread.php?27835-Availability-of-JBL-Consumer-Transducers-for-DIY&p=340188#post340188):


JBL Pro has continued to produce and sell a number of raw drivers. Many are very suitable for home use, but many others are definitely best used in PA systems.

I try any used JBL driver that I can get my hands on, but would appreciate your comments on which products are useable for home use, or not. Only currently available drivers are considered. Some of these drivers have their graphs published in Tansducer information (http://www.audioheritage.org/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?59-Transducer-Information), but others not. Some are really old designs, but maybe wort buying new anyways?

I think all these drivers are suitable for home use. It depends how you use them.

So you don't think the frequency curve of the 2262 (http://www.audioheritage.org/vbulletin/showthread.php?11345-2262H) is inferior to 2206 (http://www.audioheritage.org/vbulletin/showthread.php?21755-2206h)?

As I said, it depends on how you use them. Just find the proper application and set-up in a home system. Pick a driver for its stengths, not its weaknesses. :D
