We are Audio buffs ... collectors ... FANS!
2ch: WiiM Pro; Topping E30 II DAC; Oppo, Acurus RL-11, Acurus A200, JBL Dynamics Project - Offline: L212-TwinStack, VonSchweikert VR-4
7: TIVO, Oppo BDP103D, B&K, 2pr UREI 809A, TF600, JBL B460
Which is exactly why JBL doesn't sell the "good stuff" in the States anymore. There is no market for any of it here.We are NOT "consumers" ...
In any case, the H9800 data is available to everyone and I'm sure the H4338 will be soon as well so everyone can DIY their own.
The PT progressive wave guides do all this better on paper although they are not intended for consumer applications....Neither are 2344(A)s, nor just about every other component routinely used by LHF members in their DIY systems....
Anyway, it's kind of weird that JBL doesn't just use the waveguides in the Consumer systems. They are a ton cheaper and JBL could just leave the systems at the same price points and make alot more money. Maybe that's next.
Well one issue for sure is cosmetics another is stiffness. They don't look very nice and for sure the sonoglass is a much better material which probably get's us into cost as well. They look optimized for SR and the difraction slots don't appear as narrow so above 15K I don't think they are too worried.Anyway, it's kind of weird that JBL doesn't just use the waveguides in the Consumer systems
Take a look at the difference between a 2344 slot and the PTH1010. Funny thing is it sounds good off axis, maybe it's the wide open throat. You can see the phase plug from anywhere you are supposed to have coverage.

where is it?
I've been looking for that information since I have seen Matsj's and John W's H9800 DIY threads, but it looks like it is in the private project may forum.
