What type of comp. driver/horn/throat combination will work best - primarily for near field applications - with some modified Altec 210 Voice of the Theatre cabinets? Why near field ? Because most of the time I will be listening to this system in my garage. The cabinets will not have the 60 watt Altec 515B's in them, but rather 400 watt JBL 2225's. I'm going to reduce the internal volume of the cabinet a bit so the JBL's will feel more "at home". Port volume I will have to play with. Some more insulation and a bit more internal bracing and they will be ready.

Had four 100 degree 10 cell Altec 1005B horns (2 tar filled) and eight Altec 288C's for the high freq stuff, but grew tired of the sound and sold all of it. Wish I had it today to put up on Ebay.....

I'm looking for better, cleaner, crisper hi-end that can keep up with eight JBL 2225's in some really big exponential horn-loaded cabinets.

Any suggestions?



Thanks,


Guy
