My experience with JBL 2226 and SET amps
My reliable "on call" system uses 2226J and GP 902 (8 ohm) drivers on 811B or Edgar tractix horns (650hz round poplar).
I use Wayne Parhams (Pi Speaker forum - audiorountable main forum) and crossover the high freq drivers at 1.6khz 3rd order w/passive HF EQ.
The 2226 uses only a .7mh coil (8 Ohm) and 1.4mh (16 ohm) inductor in series to match up.
2 resistors and a cap makeup the HF EQ for the horn/driver.
I have used 45/2A3/300B SET amps set up for 8 ohms and find the 2226J sounds better to me than the 2226H. The output transformer will load back to the triode with only minimal loss of efficiency compared to solid state where the power delivered with twice the impedance halves.
Just my 2 cents worth!

PS: I have E-130's also and they work well with the SET amps, but still investigating best crossover point to lose the "shoutiness".
At 105db/watt, these only need about a half a watt to fill the room!!!!!:blink:
