I recently acquired a pair of JBL 2225H's along with two 2226H's, two 2445J's and some other stuff in a trade deal.
Just a couple of days ago, I took a look at the two 2225H's and was sad to discover that both cones were broken!!! (Just like my heart, when I discovered the poor drivers' condition :crying:)
I suspect this might be a bad recone job and maybe even reconed with unoriginal kits, but I am not sure. The voice coil is undamaged.
My problem is that I wish to bring these to drivers back to working condition, but it is actually more expensive to acquire original JBL-kits, than to buy used 2225H's.
There are actually 4 drivers for sale locally, that are sold cheaper than what two original recone kits would cost (excluding labour cost) :eek:
I just HATE the thought throwing the baskets in the trash, but 2235H kits are virtually unobtainable for reasonable prices in Europe and used 2225H's are cheaper than kits.
What would you do if they were yours?
