My JBL 4355 build

[.:hb:.]

Can you tell if the Edding 100 you used to dye the cones has a slightly purple glow in direct sunlight?

Not much, but it ideed has. Keeping the coating as thin as possible definitely helps. Someone commenting on my blog has good results applying the edding ink with an airbrush gun, seems like a good idea.

Made some progress. Adding the 2308 definitely helps for short listening distances. Got the L-pads connected, lowering the 2441's output was a good idea. Until my tube crossover is finished, I am using a simple Monacor MCX-2000 for the active filter part; I am surprised how well it does.
As for amplification, I am using a Bryston 4BSST² for the woofers and an Accuphase A-46 does the rest. I am really happy with the sound, but there's so much to try, tons of knobs to turn. This will keep me going for a while - exactly what I wanted .

Very very! nice Yep, you got plenty of knob turning time to keep you busy for a long while....Enjoy!

[Mannermusic]

Yes, Bravo! And when you get the itch (it never completely dies), that configuration is a natural for a big horn on top. Endless "knobs" to twiddle! Mike

Nice system!
And I like your stands

Any plan to use a digital crossover unit?

Absolutely not. 90 percent of my music comes from a turntable, and I like to keep things analog. And please let's skip the "But most of your vinyl is derived from digital material" discussion .
If I'd feel the need to make substantial changes to the filtering, I'd be able to do that in the analog domain. But at the moment I don't feel the need to. That speaker just sounds exactly as wrong as I like it to .
