JBL 2360 Compression Driver?

[ivica]

Thanks for responding Macsic!

Yes, the 2441 i read is very good.
Alu diaphragm, beside beryllium I have not tested.
Beryllium is to expensive.
Alu, maybe some day I buy and try.

But I think the original ribbed TI sound quite good as long as use tweeter from 6-7k.
Over 7k the TI diaphragm sound really bad with a lot of resonances.

I have the 2405, and it`s really good!!
2404 is just a tiny bit better with the 2360, but it`s not by much!


I will not test the Altec 288 as it needs adapter.
Adapter makes the already long throat of 2360 even longer...not good.

But, yes, I read and people tell the 288 is really good driver!!
And it can be bought new from GPA!

Hi oks81,

I would not compare TAD 4" diaphragm driver with JBL 244x loaded with Be (Truext) diaphragm, may be with 476Be only would comparable, but if 2405 is applied, I think that JBL SL diaphragm would be acceptable solution too, as it is not 'ringing' over 10kHz.
Using JBL 4" AL diaphragm (2441) under 800Hz have to be done with more care, especially if not too steep HF network is applied. May be even 2445 Ti diaphragm is not so bad solution too.
