Just a little experiment I thought some may be interested.
I put a 2440 on a short horn into one of my 4343 cabinets to compare it to the stock longer horn with 2420 1" driver in the other.
The driver fits perfectly, makes me wonder if they intended it to fit.
I actually didn't adjust any of the attenuation settings or anything, just put it in. The 2440 is actually the same sensitivity as the 2420. I guess the different length and shorter horn may have an effect on time alignment and stuff. Just made a quick spl sweep measurement of the and the driver speaker was still pretty flat through the HF range.
So now I'm able to pan to the speaker with the 2" driver and back to the one with the 1" driver to compare.
So the 2" speaker has more authority in that hf range, it's sort of fatter sounding . The 1" speaker is a bit thinner and drier sounding, maybe more delicate and slightly more detailed. I haven't made up my mind which one I prefer. But i think it would definetley be worth getting second 2" driver and short horn to be able to hear the pair like that.
