Many thanks, so with overlaying responses of 2123 and E-110 I get the following.
That would be some helpful for network changes if E110 is used in to say 4343 or 4345

Added 2122 response.
But all of responses are so called 'small signal responses'. On higher power I do believe that they are
much different.
It would be nice if such measurements somebody can add.

But some folks do like it.

Some idea: if I rewind 2123 coil with copper ribbon (with 2122 JBL specs), it will be 2122? Or cones paper and magnets is different too?
Thanks,
Kirill

As I remembered 2122 is 'under-hung' (shorter voice coil that pole plate thickness),
while 2123 is 'over-hung' ( VC longer then pole plate thickness), and cone suspensions ( Vas) are different too. You can see in T/S parameters for 2122 and 2123.

Does anyone know if the LE10H basket/motor assembly is the same as a 2122-2122-2123? They sure look like they are based on the pictures I can find but none show a clear side shot.

I have never seen one. The goes into list doesn't lead me to believe they are the same but I don't know for sure when it comes to pro part numbers verses home stuff.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Barry.

2121H = 2122H = 2123H = LE10H = LE111H
2121A = LE10A but neither equal LE111A which had a much larger AlNiCo structure resulting in an absurdly low Qts, extremely overdamped, but it actually sounded pretty nice in the original L110. :)

Thank you very kindly!

Barry.

How do you guys compare the 2012H against the the 2121, 2122 and the 2123? Better or worse? And is there any benefit to use it in the monitors?

I LOVE 2012's, and 2020's.

Barry.

I made a search of the entire forum and I found a lot of information about the 2012H compared to the other 10 inch midrange speakers
As an example, Guido has posted som interesting info about this 2012H speaker and the 4343 but I dont know if he ever used that driver in his monitors?

Has anyone experience with using these over-engined and high Fs 10" drivers in satellites down to 100 hz ?

JBL has done this on the little 2 way box 4716A if I get it right. My idea is to then add a big subwoofer to end up with some sort of a triphonic system.

This was discussed quite some time ago

As l recall the Xmas of the 2123 in a sealed enclosure for this application will be a limiting factor but you could port/vent the enclosure.


Plug the 2123 into a simulator and see if it will be viable?

The 2118 maybe a better candidate.

:sleigh:

The 2012 could be a good condidate as it has a much higher xmax
