I've got four L55's in my 4.1 home theater/music system.
Two in fantastic condition.
Two with just slightly sunken in spiders and one bad tweeter or crossover. Haven't troubleshot that yet because...

JBL S38II and JBL S38BE are very similar to each other, but are another one I've found.
A better tweeter than found in the E50.

Thanks, polar_bear_0104. I'll google it!


Okay, I found the JBL 8330 surround speaker.
But it's a surround speaker that is only -3db up to 14khz.
I'm kind of wanting something that plays...

I want to buy some three way speakers with 8" woofer that look like this, with the tweeter & mid to the side of the 8" woofer. It MUST have this baffle configuration.
Bonus points if it works well...

That cabinet is definitely awesome.
One of the reasons I'm not fond of towers (actually the only reason) is because I have a huge projector screen. And I only have about 1.5' of width for a speaker...

I'm digging that 4602 cabaret but it appears to have a 3k hz two way crossover. Surely that 12" can't do awesome playing up to 3k?

Also liking the non-tower style of the 4412.

Yes, it doesn't matter if I buy an entire enclosure with speakers or the individual drivers. I'll still build my own cabinets.
And I always look for the best deal.

So the 4412 is considered the...

I'm pretty good with wood. I've built about half the last several speakers I've owned. :)

I'll google the L100T' s, L7's, 4412A's and your L100T3's.

Any cabinet I use will be rolled with...

Btw, I have L55's right now.
But as I mentioned, one of the LE14A's needs a recone. Because it has a slightly saggy spider. :(

If you had ~$500 to spend on used JBL drivers off eBay or other sources, which JBL speaker would you clone?
For jazz, piano & rock music.
Unlimited space requirements (mostly).
Crossover plans...

Will having a front ported JBL 4507 speaker enclosure up next to the side wall (~4" clearance) negatively impact the sound in an overly noticeable way?

As compared with the 1.5' clearance it used...

I think I would first suspect the signal chain. The receiver, amp, cabling or even power.

Reseat all cabling. Then try disconnecting the a/v receiver. If still getting popping, then try a...

Does this happen at all times, or only when playing loud music/movies?

I personally am not able to hear 16k hz. At least not through my econowave speakers. I haven't tried that test tone on any other speakers before.

Thanks, everyone!

Some interesting choices here, for certain.
I kind of like the 2425/2426 suggestion, as well am intrigued by the BMS. The problem with the BMS is I'm not aware of any...

Thanks, Rob.

I'm overall happy with the econowave. But I'll be moving it to a pair of other speakers as I continue to experiment with the JBL 2226 in my 4507 enclosures. I'm just super happy with...

Thanks, Rob.

It's already got the econowave though. I was wanting to try something different. What is the next step up, budget wise?

I have JBL 2226H 15" woofers in 4507 style enclosures. I believe these are tuned to 38-40hz. I'm looking for suggestions on new or used tweeters/horns to match up with them. I've got a budget of...

Yes, either cabinet will be fitted with 2226's.
Getting mixed signals on the 4530 still.

The reason I don't like the 4507 is due to the shape and because the 4530 supposedly has more of a kick...

The C34 scoop with it's "rounded" back end looks interesting as well, as a "prettier" alternative to the 4530. But the plans available here are difficult to read and not overly comprehensive....

Good call. I'm getting way more relevant 4530 results by using the forums search, than I was with using yahoo.

Still, the 4507 vs. 4530 hasn't been answered in the 10-15 threads I've read so...

How do these two enclosures compare against each other for various music & home theater effects?

Is one significantly better than the other for music like jazz or classical or rock? Either would...
