    Using JBL Be diaphragm, would be different story, I think.....

    Ivica,

    I have no idea if older JBL diaphragms will even fit into the 476 driver ( since I don't own any 476 type drivers > therefore can't try out the idea ).

    I also don't know if the 476 line of drivers uses JBL's standard sized phase-plug ( ie; using the same curvature and height ).

    The 476's use a coherent wave phase plug so a 2450+SL/2451 I would think would fit as they are also Neo drivers same phase plug. ???

    It's the curvature & height of the phase-plug that concerns me most.

    Very good question,i am anxious to know the answer too,can it be replaced with Be diaphragms directly without any modification of the crossover?

    I have active crossover, so I do not care about that. I can just remeasure and make new EQ-settings. I meant if the TrueExtent Be dia fits and works technically in the 476-core.

    1.476Mg cladding material is easy to exfoliate,this will block the gap.
    2.the magnetic steel is easy to rust.
    These problems caused the compression drivers don't have same SPL.
    Why?
    And more,one 4365 user said the components of 4365 crossover is very poor comparing with 4367,is that true?
    below is the pix of 4367's crossover

    I think we have had this discussion before, were I claim that 4365 crossover probably was somewhat ”detuned” to not make 4365 sound too good relative K2 and Everest.

    476Mg is a great sounding driver, but I hope at my 476Mg in the S9900 project is in good condition, I have not take a look inside them yet

    I think at the components in 4365 and 4367 is in similar quality, S9900 and DD67000 have better capacitors and better design crossover
    I think at all the networks JBL use in the high end speakers could use better parts (capacitors, resistors and inductors)
    I would go for Jantzen capacitors and inductors

    Lets keep this thread focused about the oxidation problems that some 476Mg drivers have > rather than a general gripe-fest ( or buyers-remorse blog ) about the 4365.

    I didn't see that posti just want to know the quality of 4365's crossoever
    what does detuned mean?

    You are going to upgrade your JBL crossover? sounds good
    I think 4365's drivers is better than 4367's,so i recommend 4365 to other audiophiles,not 4367,but some 4365 users complained about this.

    After reading this thread, it reinforced a principle , which is never to outsource critical components or process where you no longer have control of the quality. Many speakers manufacturers are still winding their own voice coils eg ATC.

    Hope HK/JBL stop this nonsense of just focusing on production cost.
