I need your help.
Still deciding what is best thing to do.
Anybody had a chance to compare JBL 2450 loaded with Truextent diaphragms vs TAD 4001?
What you will choose?

We did not listen to the Truextents in 2450, they were in either 2441 or 2445. However, when compared to TADs, I'd give them a slight edge. Others in the group might give the Tads the nod, but in any case, it was close. Very close. I don't think you could lose with either combination.
I've heard both, but not at the same time... so I can't make a useful comparison. As cosmos said, I don't think you would be making a mistake with either assuming the TADs are up to spec and the Truextent's are properly installed in the JBLs.

I had some bad experience buying old and (ab)used Alnico drivers.
Unfortunately there is no recharge service in my country
Maybe is better and safer to go with neodymium magnet.
Guido recommends the Radian 950PB driver which is supposed to be better thanks to its 5-slit phasing plug. He also sells 950PB drivers with truextent diaphragms installed
I am running truextent 16ohms diaphagms in 2450 cores and I really like what I hear and measure, much improved over Ti and Ti SL diaphragms. They require some compensation in the high tho: if you want to run them with a passive filter it would probably be much easier to use a Ti SL diaphragm or a TD4001...
What you get with the truextent is a very efficient mid/high band, and a really well behaved (but rolled off) top end. The milar surround certainly has much to do with this.
I have some plots of JBL 2450j with Truextent diaphragm from German magazine.
Is it ok to post results here or is that forbidden?
Here it is.
I hope nobody will sue me
