Good Evening.
I’ve recently sold my JTR gear, and I’m looking to upgrade the speakers in my HT. I currently have the 4675C and 5732 products on my short list for the front stage (looking at Danley SH too); after aggressive negotiations with a dealer, I can get into the 5732 for another $400/channel (as compared to the 4675).
Now, please know I have not heard either of these products. I’m relying upon the words of folks I trust on AVS who were previously using the same mains I just sold and currently own 4675Cs, or at least a system incorporating the 2360A horn.
I must honestly admit, I find the 2360A a sexy beast, and evidently long for it in my subconscious as I’m unable to escape its grasp…
With that being said/shared,I have spent the past couple of weeks researching the 2360A, and the various CDs folks have integrated to improve the HF – while maintaining the ~600-750 Hz MFperformance.
JBL’s documentation rates the 2360A/2446H -3dB @12 kHz. I’ve noted many gentlemen here have utilized many JBL CD models as well as those from Tad, BMS, etc…
This implementation shall be 99% HT; given this perspective, will this HF rolloff be critical? I have looked into the Crown Dsi family of amplifiers, and the HiQnet documentation lists pre-sets for the 4675 to compensate for this rolloff. Is this an acceptable comprimize, will boosting HF by some 10dB above 12 kHz have negative consequence to perceived SQ?
In closing, can someone help me understand what the difference in presentation would be between the 4675 and the 5732 products?
Both products have very similar LF compliments as each are boasting a pair of 2226 drivers. The 5732 utilizes the 8” differential drive mids (which may be pretty sweet), and would likely enjoy flatter response to 20 kHz.</SPAN>
I have a dedicated 24’ x 13’ x 7.5’ HT which is fully treated, and is currently sitting idle as my previous speakers sold much sooner than anticipated.
Thanks for your consideration, and any thoughts you may have to share.
Regards,
Larry
