Thanks, I had thought of using peanuts but laying the speaker on it's face and filling the cavity from the back with 1 cubic foot bags until full but not sure I want to go through either exercise as...

Hi Rob-
Thanks for the info. I don't know the internal volume, I've done some searching and came up empty. It's such an odd shaped cavity, way beyond my ability to figure out.

Greetings all-

I have yet another question/observation about the JBL Metregon. I have multiple posts about optimizing my little beast and have come to accept it's shortcomings. Recently when...

Hey Mike- Thanks for the recommendation but I think I'm done. If my system was set up in a room specifically for listening I'd probably consider that route but it's not, the only wall for this to...

Hey all-

Yesterday I set up the Metregon with an active crossover., something I was always curious about. I have a McIntosh 2105 driving the woofers and the LE85's being driven by a McIntosh...

Ok, hate is a little harsh. I do love the aesthetics of the Metregon which I lovingly refer to as a manatee at times, impressively large but not too elegant (at most things).
In my last post about...

I had refoamed LE15A's and actually preferred the 2226j after I did a test swap, for the Metregon. At that time I also had a pair of L200's and did the same thing, the LE15's prevailed. ...

After some more digging I did find that JBL was used the LE15A/LE85/075 combo before with the LX5 and N8000 crossovers in the EN5 enclosure. The question then becomes about the 2226j and the Metregon...

Hello all-
A question to throw out to the community; any chance of success to combine a 2226J woofer with an LE85 and 075 in a Metregon?

I've had the Metregon for some years now, it currently has...

Thanks for the reply and suggestion but don't really have any other options for placement.

I believe the biggest response attenuator is that it's ported downward, directly to the floor. I...

Hello all-
Does anyone have any experience with a Metregon set on a slab foundation? I used to have it set up in a house with a raised foundation and have since moved to a house with a slab floor. I...

Hello everyone,

I've been away from the audio world for over a year now since I've sold most my collection and have been on the road. I'm seeking some knowledge on a Jensen PLM-15A Auditorium...

Hello subwoof,

First off, sorry for the loss of your wife, however recent or past, doesn't matter, the pain never leaves. Beautifully crafted post, loved it and thanks for sharing.

Take care

Hello all,
Finished the resto job yesterday. Decided to go with stripping the finish, sanding/prepping and re-staining with an oil base finish.Whoever gets them in the future can go with how they...

Hi Johnny,
Thanks for the link and info, your speakers came out great.

Oh well. I started the stripping process, will put up pic's of the finished cabinets. I am stripping it using chemicals/sawdust, they only way to go especially with the cabinet style and detail.

Hi all,
After my car restoration, back to speakers/audio stuff.
I've been hanging on to a pair of Sovereign's with the S7R package for a few years now with the intent of refinishing the cabinets. I...

Kidding.

To end this thread I'd like to add my last observation about JBL. They were a company that put out X many different home and professional offerings, this based off of their component...

For the information and advice. Nice to have these kinds of "problems", isn't it? Your speakers turned out beatiful by the way.
I may start by building a fresh LX5 and see what they sound like, hell...

Appreciate the info. Did you use these combinations and an L200 cab?
What does your experience or intuition with these circuits tell you about using an LE15A in the mix. I have never heard an 075 in...

I agree with the historical observation, just testing the waters to see if someone was sucessful with that combination. I know the LE15, 375 and 075 combo was used just didn't know about using the...

I've just read his thread on that topic and a couple others similar to it. The question I would pose would be the difference in driver compliments. I could possibly come up with an approximation...

Hello all,

I thought i'd proble for some ideas. Awhile back I had a thread seeking advice as to which drivers to use for a pair of L200 cabinets I had aquired.
At the time I settled on 2226J's...

Greetings,

I agree with Seniorita James, maybe look for a better pair of cabinets. I have done a fiar amount of cabinet touch-ups and light repair and have found that the separation issue could be...

Greetings everyone,

I received my foam grills from http://foamspeakergrilles.com/ which judging from what I received, I highly recommend. I really wanted the factory look and other options didn't...
