Greetings All!
I have a small collection of JBL speakers and recently acquired a pair of Lancer 77's that have been professionally re-foamed. To my ears, they sound very good. I know the LE20-1 isn't the last word in hf drivers, but it suits me just fine. The mid-range of the L77's are, in my opinion, very lively. My only complaint is the lack of bass. I have been pretty happy with the bass from my L88's, although the mids are somewhat weak. No surprise since they rely on the tweeter and woofer for this purpose, neither of which seem to be up to the task.
I have an extra set of L77 drivers and crossovers that I plan to build custom enclosures for. The LE10's and passive radiators need to be re-foamed which I will have done professionally. I may look into the crossovers and recap them if needed.
So I'm wondering if the bass response of the L77's can be improved upon with larger enclosures. Or can the bass be improved upon by eliminating the passive radiators and building reflex (or horn loaded) enclosures. Any thoughts?
