Hi! Actually, this makes sense, as the front 'horn' on the 2427 is a screw on piece, and the 2327 adapter for the 2425 is flanged, so it will be shorter by the threaded portion (which does look to...

I measure 13.3 cm from the front of unit (at the flange for the 2" opening) to the silver ring at the front of the driver (where the threaded on adapter will butt against the 2426/2427 threaded...

I believe the magnet structure, voice coil, and spider are very similar (if not identical) in these 2 woofers. The smaller cone area and different cone mass makes the LE14H work well in a smaller...

I think the HF roll off is inherent in the design of the driver, not the horn. Exponential horns acoustically compensate for the fall off of HF, by beaming, and constant directivity horns require it...

did some searching around... looks like OP bldozier is trying to do just that - make a 2108.

Hey Earl thanks for that info!
I've been curious about this for years now, and not seeing any chatter about it I always put it down to "if it's doable, someone would already be doing it...so it must...

you building a 2108?

I've often wondered if a skilled JBL tech could build one with an le10 magnet assembly and a PR8 basket.

very well said! Thank you for putting the time into that post.

IMHO without "JBL Pro" the other divisions have little or no reputation! Having the link to pro-sound is what helps buyers looking...

you make many good points, but it was just advice. Foolish would be to restore them to factory-fresh. My point (that I didn't get across very well) was that for many people (er, like me) large...

In some parts of the world, what you describe is junk..in other places (essentially anywhere outside the US...) these are extremely rare and desirable vintage JBL cabinets that would be carefully...

Thanks for confirming this. :-) There are clones out there and I can't really spot them too easily..
seen here for the system Barry Is talking about....

the front (blurry, but hoping to confirm they're real 2344s),

the back, showing the integral ports,

the JBL world needs more people like you! :)
hope this all works out.

Thanks! The link to the pdf of the design drawings helps, as a start. I'll put on an ebay search, and wait and see.... I figure if I do find some replacements at least it's easier to ship them than...

I just picked up a pair of 2344 horns, the 2-piece kind, but they missing the throats. The price was right, what can I say, and at last I can see what the real shape and size of these are.. not as...

they are weird, and seen on their own, to me, they make no sense. Seen as a stream of ads on the facebook page, they make a bit more 'sense' if that's the word. The "throwback thursdays" (or...

Thanks for all the advice!

I've dug around and have found several versions of the 2-way and 3-way horn systems that I think would work for me. I'm seeing that the JRX line is to be avoided,...

Can you post pictures of the name plates on the horn body, and on the back of the driver?

wrager, thanks for the 1st hand knowledge! This is new territory for me, so knowing what worked for others helps!

BMWCCA, I've seen the M2 Master Reference thread...but that's way up there in...

so, I'm scanning Amazon to see what exactly JBL sells these days... despite seeing mostly ipod docking stations and headphones, I came across this:...

that's a real ad for JBL??

Those look great, and the surrounds look OK too compared to how mine look (from what I can see in the pic). These are great speakers that can play loud and clean where most of the music is (40 to...

well said Doc! I got some Lancer99s about 20 years ago, foolishly sold them 10 years ago, but replaced them with L166s, and I now have L100Ts, L55s, and a boat load of parts for DIYing (like 6 loose...

Nice stuff they bought back then, your parents did well! I'm sure you've googled it, but here's a nice site that describes the Sony... http://www.thevintageknob.org/sony-STR-6060.html

Thanks for that run down - over various threads scattered about you've commented on the commonality of some of the 4" and 3" VC woofers. Is the 2108 also an LE10 magnet and coil? Or maybe the 2121...
