The Arrays will probably image better because of the horn orientation. If I were you I would at least have a listen. The biggest difference is the woofer the other drivers are essentially the same except for AL+Ti vs Be and the network is CC in the 9800

It sounds to me that you should stick with what you have.Originally Posted by g_t_r
obverously K2 S9800 is not in same class with Array 1400 in JBL speakers order,S9800 is flagship at that time and is hi-end speaker and 1400 is hi-fi speaker,just look at their price tab
BTW,S9800 is not loud at all

“A 3rd option could be to get some H9800 horn copies from Guido and equip them with Radian + True-extent beryllium dia's, all for the cost of about 3.500 euro. I really like the 2123, but with these instead of my 2344/2420 I could get my crossover point a little lower to say 1000Hz and probably get nicer highs.
But my current system is so tuned to my taste that all the different options that I have investigated over the past years have not 'made the cut' and instead my system keeps being improved bit by bit. Yet it is stil very ugly...
I am afraid the Array 1400 system won't make the cut due to it being passively filtered and bass reflex and not being a 'high sensitivity' design”
I agree and think it would be a risk to switch to another system at this point. You have a good loudspeaker and good Amos.
You could try a 1 inch Radian be driver (talk to Guido) and do better on the active crossover.
Btw the Array can be actively crossed over if you know how.
