...just in case: It might be worthwile to ask Stefan at Hi-Fi Kit Electronics for a quotation on original diaphragms. He gave me a substantial discount on 2441 diaphragms. BTW, do you know where to buy Radian in our neck of the woods? The closest retailer I'm aware of is in the Netherlands (Holland Audio Imports).
Radian diaphragms are now readily available from Partsexpress!
They are good, but I prefer JBL diaphragms! The Radians are smoother sounding, but IMO, the JBL,s have better clarity and crispness and better top end!
There are those who like the Radians better, so its a matter of preference! The price of the Radian is good.

no this was just a guy who sold privat, new in box...but i´ll go with jbl original..
Another guy I know, Dan, who does some nice audio contracting work also had some opinion of the radian diaphragms. he feels they are less dynamic sounding than JBL diaphragms. He said if price is the factor then he would use these, but only if price was the factor, or in a pinch if he couldnt get a JBL replacement in time!
The JBL compression drivers do happen to have fantastic transient response!
I live within half a mile of Radians home office if anyone needs anything from them. (literature, info, parts etc) I havent had a reason to stop in yet.
The Radians are good for Pro work to keep the rig running for lower overhead but otherwise the JBL part is better.

Figge, did you check with Stefan? If you whine a little, he might give you a much better price (and dig up a pair for you).Originally posted by Figge

im planning on calling him in the morning!
check his prices....nag abit and check again
also gonna check out the 2426H drivers...i cant find anything on the website.
370 dollars each at septon is simply outrageous! i can buy new drivers cheaper than that! (including the damn diaphragms)

what would happen if i threw in the 16ohms?
i guess the best thing i could do is to get a pair of nice 2425:s with nice diaphragms?
