I am in the presence of greatness on this forum. I hope that someone can excuse my ignorance about some things JBL!
Anyways I have a pair of L250’s, and so far have rebuilt the crossovers and I have started to refinish them black lacquer. I’m in Denver co so the project is on hold for now because it is cold outside. So they are all put together and I am currently listening to them. What I would like to do is replace the 044-1 with a TI of some sort and I was wondering if someone (most likely giskard) could tell me if there is a diaphragm replacement that might fit my 044-1 (maybe 044ti) does this work? I have just (as I was righting this) received my 104h-2’s!! I also was wondering it anyone has the 250Ti schematic.
In my crossover, I replaced most of the components removed the bypass caps on the HF put Holland’s in place and replaced all resistors in the circuit (not attenuation) with metal film units. The difference was AMAZING!! I am now trying to add a little more detail to the HF and I hope this is the right direction to go. I rescued these from a pawnshop in Salt Lake City, Crossovers were mostly blown one tweeter was toast foam was all but gone on the LE14H-1’s but I paid $900 for the pair!! They really are a great pair of speakers as I have a pair of Vienna Acoustic Beethoven’s (Very new speaker 3way) and much of the difference between them and my 250’s are the HF. It’s not as detailed on the 250’s Granted the 250”s are 24 years older than the Beethoven’s. And of course the low end is much tighter on my 250’s than most any speaker around!! (Except older JBL’s)! I do have a 2242H in a 10CU FT box with a crown K2 powering it as well as the 250’s. After about 100 hours of break-in the crowns have opened up nicely. Anyways just thought I would ask some people who know about JBL’s.
Thanks Shane
