I have a pair of JBL 4412A's for my office speakers which I really like. I had an Adcom GFA-555, then a pair of GFA-565's. I have been wanting to try Bryston so when a 4B came along I got it. The...

The first configuration was all Adcom, GFP-565 and GFA-555, the second configuration was a Brooklyn Bridge and an Adcom GFA-555, the third configuration was a Brooklyn DAC+ and an Adcom GFA-555, all...
I wish to revise and extend my remarks with apologies to @BMWCCA. :)
While I stand by the assessment of flabbiness I expressed above I do have new information.
Recently I saw a Bryston 4B for...
Very nice!
No pix of Martin?
To continue this thought, if you turned up the system gain the resulting SPL would increase more in the upper frequency range which happens to be where the CD's are.
Perhaps this contributed to...
Possibly true but not what I was saying. LOL
The description of the video that I liked to in the OP said that Phil Collins was playing drums at that concert in Tokyo in 1988. I didn't listen to...
Hey Mitchco.
Not that one, but thanks.
I did find it. Might be my favorite Clapton song.

I am probably the last one to know this. LOL
I was looking for a Clapton song, still haven't found it, a duet with a woman, and ran across this.
1988 in Tokyo. Clapton (during one of his sober...
Doing good Barry.
Yeah, I've been playing around the edge of this hole for a long time. Falling in is pretty much a given, When is about the only question. :)
If I understand the premise of the...
Nice!
The place that I am working at now has a spectrum analyzer that does an FFT to Freq domain conversion and starts at 3 Hz. :) It has me thinking about things.
Thanks for the cool post...
Thanks BMWCCA!
I am looking for a list of where the 052Ti tweeter was used. I have searched here but have not been able to find a list. I know the 4412a and 4408a and assume there are others.
Thanks!!!!
Steve
I replaced the tweeter with one that I bought from Jammin Jersey. Night and day difference in SQ, HF output and dispersion.
I wanted to follow up in case someone happened along this thread later....
Adding a cap as you have done would work as a high pass filter which would certainly do the trick.
I took another path. I added straws to the ports. First iteration was with straws cut to the...
Thanks HCSGuy!
Soldering would make a difference but perhaps not a discernible difference. I do intend to make more changes so the convenience of push on lugs would be appreciated. I can solder a...
What is/are the recommended placement(s) for 4408a's?
Vertical rather than horizontal? Seems as though a horizontal orientation would obviate the separation inherent in the tweeters being located...
Thanks Ian!
I didn't follow this part. Could you please expand on this?
Yes, and this is part of my inspiration for pursuing this. There must be 'as good as' if not 'better than' diaphragms that, if not presently available, can be developed.
Unfortunately Radian does...
So you are looking to quad-amp?
You are a man after my own heart. I would tri-amp my espresso maker if I could figure out where to hook up all the wires. :D
If you are going full active, there...
Yeah, that is where I am at. It seems as though I have seen a post somewhere that the "Simply Speakers" diaphragms were not up to snuff.
It is possible though. Bob Crites' Klipsch diaphragms are...
It looks as though the 052Ti version, D8R052Ti, is not available, only the 035Ti version.
Other than the 4 tabs that must be clipped to fit the 052 in the 035 speaker, are they identical?
There are quite a few diaphragms that are no longer available from JBL. The 052Ti is of particular interest to me.
Is there an alternative source of diaphragms that are of at least as good as...
Other than the 4408a, are there any two way JBLs that uses the 052Ti?
Thanks!!!
