PC,
I wonder if what you are hearing as a "slow" driver is really a timing or phase problem? Perhaps playing with those settings will clear up the muddiness? after all, 60 hz is 60 cycles per...
Is it possible for the driver to get wet during a storm? Not sure how your chimney is built, but it would be bad if a 2245 got wet.. or critters in the chimney?
Dan
Champster, your build looks absolutely beautiful! Great job.
However, I am wondering if the 10" OB would perform better if you allowed the 2245 to provide everything from say 60 or 70 Hz down,...
I am very seriously tempted..
Yes, many have over the years. I did with 2425 drivers with 511 horns and they sounded good..
Not easily.. You will need to redrill the flanges of the horns or create a transition piece.

That's the ticket.. let's blame the monitor rather than my old eyes.. I like the way you think ;)
Holy Jig Saw... What the hell was they guy poppin, drinkin' and smokin' when he cut that woofer hole? Looks like a party!
I agree on the Barzilay kits. Cabinets aren't worth squat, but the drivers...
Which driver are you actually using? 2404H or 2404H-1??
There is a significant difference. The 2404H-1 will tolerate a much lower crossover point but does not go up as high as a 2404H. The 2404H...
Not to even perpetuate the resurrection of a 5 year old thread.. They are both truly great speakers. I think the term finesse applies best to 250Ti and dynamic, brute force and live applies best to...
We did not listen to the Truextents in 2450, they were in either 2441 or 2445. However, when compared to TADs, I'd give them a slight edge. Others in the group might give the Tads the nod, but in any...
Personally, I will never understand the firm refusal of audiophiles to augment their system, at least at times, with an equalizer. Virtually every recorded piece has been equalized at some time or...
The day has settled down, but alas it was a wonderful day. Merry Christmas to all.
If you build it, it's going to look pretty much or exactly like these.
Heather, I agree with the suggestion of going with an active crossover and a SS amp on the woofers and tube amp on the mods and highs. There are many good amplifier choices.. I'd check out Manley,...
On my 250Ti-LE I played with a lower tuning frequency (longer ports) and liked the change.. You might give it a try..
Maybe I missed it somewhere in the thread, but is this going to be used for Home HiFi or PA use?
I am astounded the E145 has not been mentioned.. Perhaps it's just me, but it makes magical...
What is so refreshing about this thread is his enjoyment of the sound - music. When it's good, it's good.. Hope he enjoys them for many years to come. :)
For the benefit of posterity, here are...
So much great music...
My list would include, but not limited to:
Carole King: Tapestry
Chicago Transit Authority
James Taylor: JT
Yes: Fragile
Who: Tommy
Santana: Abraxas

First of all, I am puzzled. While the 2245 re-cone kits remain available, aren't the 2245 complete drivers distant history? How does Westlake offer 2245 drivers in the first place? Second, isn't the...
In reality, it is likely the marketing department trying to capitalize on the remaining value of that history with what remains of JBL. Let's face it, JBL walked away from anything remotely...
I picked up 6 JBL 4825 speakers. These have 2204 or 2206 12" woofers, a 2344a (modified) waveguide and 2425 drivers.
I was thinking of stealing the waveguides to make some 4430 clones, but in...
Sir Dome, I cannot begin to tell you how tempted I am to book some flights.. What an incredible opportunity you are offering. I regret wholeheartedly that you aren't a couple thousand miles closer.
A friend is gone from our sight, but not our hearts or mind. His soul has passed on to a better life than we ourselves see. We grieve for our loss, not his.
You have given many of us a great...
Happy Birthday. Hope it's a good day.
