I got a bit of a shock yesterday. I remember when the aftermarket BE diaphragms from Truexent for a 2445/2446 JBL were about $500-600 (USD). A nice upgrade and within reach.
Those days are gone. The quote I got from Speaker Exchange (SKU BE4008 or Truexent # BEX4008) was a whooping $950 each. The competing model from Radian was $985.
It is not that I am dissatisfied with the OEM diaphragms form JBL, I was just toying with the idea of taking it up a notch for my two-way system. I am happy with the JBL 2446 driver and I am not ready to replace it. I was just thinking of some tweaking.
