Bougth recently 4 2226J`s from a well reputated ebay seller who are mentioned a few times on this forums.
BUT received 2 ok 2226J`s + not so ok ones, one with a non genuine dustcap glued on the most messy way possible and last, but worst, one 2226J basket with a 2226H recone with a rubbing voicecoil.
Since the seller are listed on JBL`s list of repair centers, i asked for a deal on recone kits, with the fact that i didnt get what i paid for calculated in, but have sofar not received an ansver
One option are to recone the 2 im not happy with, but then i will have colour differenses betwin the 2 pairs (due to age)
Another are to recone all 4 to 2226H`s and go the 4 Pi route.
I can get genuine recone kits locally, but since i am in Norway we are talking 300+$ each (ouch) i can also get them reconed at a authorized dealer/service center but no we are talking 400+$ each (double ouch)
So if possible i would prefer to buy from US, wich i belive have a far more sensible pricing on these kits.and do the recone my self.
Shipping the speakers to US for reconing are out of the question, this because shipping with our local postal service abroad are also horribly expensive.
Anyone able to guide me to a honest supplier?
