I have a pair of JBL Array 1000s. The 1400s with their 14" woofer would be too big in bass output for my listening room, but I would love to have their mid/high frequency performance. From what i understand, the 435AL driver in the 1400s is superior to that of the 175Nd-3 in my 1000s, and the horns themselves are larger.
So my questions is this: Would it be possible, and would there be any sonic gain, from one of the two following upgrades/modifications:
a) Upgrading from the 175Nd-3 to the 435AL driver (or other superior driver) with the existing Array 1000 horn
b) Replacing the whole horn assembly in the 1000s with the 1400 horn/driver combo - provided that they both use more or less he same fastening bolt configuration and would be interachangeable without too much hacking of the mounts.
Any input appreciated!
