All:

I am a PA used-to-be who is looking for additional thinking for a midrange speaker for a new system. Be it known that (1) I am not much of a woodworker and (2) I want to use stock on hand.

The low end will be a pair of JBL AS1015-STD (2226Hs) and the high end be a pair of 2446Js on 2382As horns - initial thinking of crossing over at 300 and 1200 Hz. My midrange choices are one E120 (12") or a pair of 2118s (8") in closed boxes. Bass Box calculations (as much as I am capable of understanding) are basically equal.

My concerns are that one E120 weighs more than a pair of 2118s, but the 2118s will need to be stacked horizontally as opposed to vertically (what I understand to be best).

Of course, I want whatever will work best and sound best with the least amount of woodworking. Input will be greatly appreciated.
