I wouldn't jump to any conclusions. Those 2216's are quite capable. The 2234's may win an SPL contest but I doubt they will sound better in the upper part of the range.

Hello Widget

Yes it was literally staring me right in the face. The key was a simple phase test. I had been running my Heil's in the room that way and just dropped these right into basically the...

It's a 2 1/2 way so both woofers share the same range from say 200hz and lower. The 4435 is a single shared box just like Everest. You really don't need 2 2216's unless it's a huge space.

Rob:)

The drivers have improved so that makes a difference. It would be fun to compare.

Rob:)

I was doing some comparisons with with my basement system and these and I just couldn't match the sense of space I was getting from the PTH1010/2453SL and these speakers. After thinking about it...

I agree but it looks odd. Where is the black wire connected?? Almost looks like a jumper has been cut out. What are the "green" things? Wonder what the back looks like?

Rob:)

Wow those are really old! Nice speakers!

Rob:)

Look at the data sheet. Response drops like a stone from 10K

Rob :)

That the there is a throat mismatch to the horn. They use mylar like the 2435/2431 435Be 435Al

Rob:)

I don't see the worry. What media are you using?? If it's CD anything above 20K is a moot point!

When I built my Be Arrays I used the 045Be and it was in the upper 90's as far as sensitivity. I had to pad it down to meet the LE-14H-3 so it is definitely not 87Db. That documents seems a bit...

You should be able to just swap the caps.

Rob:)

12db slopes with level attenuation.

Hello Greg

This is a 6 year old thread surprised you are responding to it now as you just brought this back into the frey. Glad you are doing well through this nightmare.

Here are a couple of...

The E-145's are 98Db 1 meter. I use them in my HT mains.

...

I think either a K or E145 would be the closest function wise.

Rob:)

Rick Cobb yes I would too!

Rob:)

Those are the front mounted gaskets but drivers are rarely mounted that way. Used to be cork back in the day. You should be able to get replacements for a 12" driver but they probably won't match...

Here we go again. Take a simple 2 way and spring for the extra caps. Have a listen and decide for yourself.

Rob:)
...

I have a pair of 590's as well. Sound fine to me.

Rob:)

You can get the 2435 diaphragms from several places. These are not aguaplased but are otherwise identical. What happened to the original??

Rob:)

Hello Ivica

Thanks for posting that.

Something is not right?? We must be measuring under different conditions. I don't show any significant roll off until about 700Hz. I got the same...

Hello Ivica

Why do you think the loading is not good below 1200Hz with the M2 horn?? I had no problem at all crossing at 700Hz 18db electrical slopes. Above 10K the M2 has directivity issues just...

Yes this is a bit odd. I actually used Le14A's as subs in 4 cubic ft boxes for years and the had plenty of kick. I still have them and they work just fine. Can you check the woofers for free air...
