    Drivers: Woofer 4

    The woofer has a rubber (or rubber-type) surround. It's attached to the front of the cone.

    Midrange enclosure and FreeFlow port

    Looking inside, the midrange plastic enclosure and one of the FreeFlow ports are next to each other. There's sound dampening material on this side.

    FreeFlow port 2

    Across the baffle, the second FreeFlow port goes in the front like this and sticks out of the back of the baffle like that. There's no sound dampening material on this side.

    Network 2

    With a little contortion, here's a different view of the network, affording a peek at the far side of the board.

    You Are an amazing person.

    You have a curiosity with no end, and an apparent appreciation of everything.

    I purchased a set of E-50's for my son for X-mas and broke them in with the old trusty Pioneer , at first I was very disappointed but after several hours they came in some and were much better. When I last visited my son we rocked out for a few hour's and they were like different speakers much more pronounced and with a surprising kick for their size.

    And all this time I thought I might be alone as one who'd take something apart BEFORE trying it out.

    I'll let them run for a couple of days, then give my impressions. I'm guessing they'll benefit from a little run in.

    Yawn

    Dome, Is this supposed to be some sort of education or a review?

    If the later why discuss a dated product that is not vintage unless you are appealing to close out shoppers? The new Studio L Series is far more intriguing and has alot more in common with the tradition of professional JBL studio monitors.(so say my brochure)

    The larger models are 4 ways, use a Biradial uhf horn, and EOS Hf wave guide, case aluninium chassis 4 " mid and 6 " woofer with SFG.

    I mean hello Dude, get with it! (Go takem back and show us some of the above, we want tell anyone you pullem apart )

    At some point I may consider some of the Studio L Series for leisurely moments in front of the wide screen starting of with the LC2, then the L820's and L830 and L8400P while leaving the vintage stuff for hands on fun.

    I will post some pics and impressions with the flux of time
