    JBL 212 Tweeter help

    I just saved a pair of JBL 212's that a friend was about to throw out. Cosmetic damage (easily fixed) and a 066 tweeter that sounds scratchy and distorted on some notes.
    In comparison with my old departed 4350's (sob) the 212's sounded better - very smooth.
    I want to restore them but I believe the 066 is hard to get. Any help would be much appreciated.

    Welcome to the forums

    One of our resident contributors is intimate with the L212. He goes by MJC, and I'm certain he'll be along presently. Others here know the L212 and the 066 as well.

    Some folks here also love the 4350 a lot, so they might resist the idea that the L212s sound better. I personally don't have a problem with you feeling the L212s to be better sounding. They are, of course, quite different designs.

    Again, welcome aboard.

    Thank you. I am sorry if I have offended 4350 owners. However these speakers were designed for control rooms. Those horns did not work so well in a domestic enviroment .. in a large room with good accoustics - that was a differnent matter.
