    I feel like there's an old saying that you can't have a small box and high efficiency and flat to 20hz. Pick any two? If flat to 20hz and a small box are most important, maybe the Dayton Ultimax 18"?...

    You're very welcome. I think several of us here got started on the JBL path because of our fathers. Was your father a studio engineer? I was introduced to UREI by a friend who worked at a studio in...

    UreiCollector, I love the fact you're still in so deep almost 20 years after starting this thread. It's aspirational for folks coming up in the hobby as well as old timers. Good on ya! :-)

    That was pretty early on in getting the whole thing up and running. I had bought 2 drivers with aftermarket kits (right channel) and one driver with a JBL 2245 (left) along with two JBL recones. Some...

    Nice collection! Thanks for sharing.

    What is that wall covering/paneling in your room? It appears to have perforations in areas? Very attractive surface, is it an acoustic treatment?

    Excellent example of everything in speaker design being a compromise. 1400 are really good sounding speakers. Appreciate the knowledge Rob.

    Well, it's not likely to be good by today's standards but I'd be curious to see how different the UREI is from the Altec 604-8g, which I think is the model UREI used when they started. I know eso has...

    That's how we'd describe it and separate it from simply 'the image' that pretty much any pair of speakers will create between them. Achieving that level of transparency and realism is difficult and...

    Well, now that depends on what the definition of 'image' is. Based on what I spelled out that we use, no. The best imaging speakers are point source and/or controlled directivity. Dipoles will create...

    That's super clean and way nicer than the 3" MG diaphragm they showed in that video. Is that the mid driver in the 1400?
