2217 vs Le14 h-1 INSIDE THE L250

[dino]

hello I have a chance to buy some jbl 2217 14 inch Lf driver. I have a pair of L250 but for the last 2 years I cant find a Le 14 h-1 so how whould the 2217 do in the L 250

[Zilch]

Why aren't you just buying LE14H-3 new?

There were some H-1s on eBay recently. Recone kits are available.

[Well, they haven't been discontinued, is what.... ]

They are different drivers. Definately not a 1 to 1 exchange. The 2217 is more efficient and has a higher FS. You would be better off with Le-14H-3 if you can get them.

I have a chance to buy some jbl 2217 14 inch Lf driver.

- Forget them, they are SR ( sound reinforcement ) woofers with stiffer compliances ( meaning too high an Fs / "free air resonance " ) .
- They also lack an aquaplas treament to the cone resulting in cones that are too light weight for the intended purpose ( used within a L250 )

I have a pair of L250 but for the last 2 years I cant find a Le 14 h-1

- You really haven't tried hard enough. Just buy le14h-3(s) new from Harman.
- Giskard has related that Greg Timbers says they are a drop-in replacement for the le14h-1. That is info you can take to the bank .

so how whould the 2217 do in the L 250 ?

- They don't go low enough, are too high in sensitivety, & they have the wrong voicing or bass-texture for home HiFi usage .

Thanks I bought my 2344a biradial horns from jammin jersey to years ago. I see a lot of le14-a on ebay, I dont want those, If I am going to spend my money I would hope to buy a pair of le14h-1 or le14h-3. Le14-a is a nice woofer But the L250 or the le14h-1 has the new technology [ SFG ] better power etc. I want to keep the same technology of drivers that was design for that speaker to stay in that speaker. le14h-1 or le14h-3

[animal53]

I never even seen them listed on Thieles' Specs Sheets.
