    Downsides of the 4425 are similar to many 2-way speakers. You have both the woofer and tweeter (compression driver in this case) stretching to fill the midrange gap. The crossover is 1.2Khz which...

    Well this is an easy one for me. I was enjoying a very loud listening session with some music that had quite a bit of deep bass. I had a pair of small Yamaha NS-20T speakers on top of my JBL L150...

    Well, as someone else pointed out earlier in this thread, he is still maintaining an active eBay store:

    Viewing this site has always been a part of my routine and I've tried to add to threads where I had something to contribute, even though I am more active over at AK. I appreciate the amazing...

    Yeah this was a real shame. I really hated when Fry's went out of Business. This mostly just leaves BestBuy for me, which seems more concerned with selling Cellphones, TVs, Laptops, and overpriced...

    Seems like he has sold 8 items over the course of the last year, and most of those have been mounting screws. He does have some active listings, but those refresh automatically (meaning those...

    After adjusting the jumper on the inputs of the miniDSP to 4V the problem seems to be solved. I pushed the speakers very hard tonight and never came close to clipping the inputs of the DSP. It's...

    While it's doubtful that they are still available directly from JBL, when it comes to authentic kits, 128H-1 (black-cone version) kits are easier to find than 128H kits, since speakers such as the...

    The amp powering the 590s is a Yamaha P2200, good for approx 350wpc into 6 ohms (the 590s are 6 ohm speakers). Pretty much zero chance that I was pushing the amp into clipping, especially after...

    The software for the mini DSP allows me to monitor the levels on the inputs (I was not keeping an eye on this previously) and it does show that it's clipping the inputs, so it seems pretty conclusive...

    Yeah, it's certainly not the first time I've run the system loud, which made it seem very confusing that I would never have heard the crackling before. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wq8cwl1Fy2o ...

    Yeah, this does sound increasingly likely. I've been looking up anything I can find about this and apparently the mini DSP has an input limit of 2V and my Yamaha C-80 preamp has 8.5V max output...
  13. Pushing a Compression Driver past it's limits? (2414H)

    I had a rather alarming experience today with my JBL 590 speakers (which use the 2414H compression driver), where I am now getting "crackling" sounds from the compression drivers at high volume...

    Is this forum going to be merged into the "The Lansing Legacy" sub-forum on AudioKarma? Or is it going to remain more separate than that? For those of us who have accounts on both forums (same...

    It's somewhat counter-intuitive, but -3 (12 Noon on the dial) is actually the "default" position. With my 4412 speakers, I went a long time thinking that 0 (Zero) on the dial was the default...

    I use a 520C in my Home Theater with a pair of L5's as mains. I know that not everyone loves the 520C but it goes on sale regularly, sometimes for as little as $100 or so, and I think that it sounds...

    I don't remember the exact model number but there was a 4-ohm version of the 2214H (woofer from L100T, L100t3, 4425, XPL200, etc) that was sold as a car subwoofer back in the day.

    With the speakers being much taller than they are wide, portrait mode seemed appropriate. The L150 video was initially made as a passive radiator demonstration video since there is still so much...

    Yeah, the total surface area is not bad. It just seems like the woofers in the 590, for whatever reason, hit their limit much sooner than the 12" woofers in my other vintage JBLs.

    A brief example...

    Maybe the speaker dimensions as listed in the specs are also taking into account the thickness of the front grill?

    I think it's mainly an indication of current consumer preferences. Many people already consider the 590 to be "huge", and indeed it is pretty tall, but can you imagine people trying to convince...

    The price for a pair of new 590s is approaching what I paid for a refurbished pair a year or two ago. You can't go wrong with these speakers for the price.
