Hello everyone!

I'm planning for building a pair of home hi-fi speaker for rock/pop/jazz kind of music.

I own a pair of JBL 4312 for years, I love the sound of it very much.

Now I want to build a pair of speaker that sounds similar to my 4312. Of course, JBL's drivers are my first choice.

The speaker would be two-way, using 12" woofer and horn-loaded tweeter, crossover at around 1~1.5KHz

Here are some drivers on my wish list:

12" woofer:

JBL 2212H
JBL 2213H
JBL 2214H
JBL 2262HPL
JBL 2206H

Compression driver:

JBL D2
JBL D220Ti

Yet there are several problems:

1. I kind of know how 2212, 2213, 2214 sound, but seems like 2212, 2213, 2214 are discontinued. Since I may build more than a pair of speaker, I'd like to use drivers that are more available.
2. I don't know how 2262HPL and 2206H sound, I've googled them and seems they are mainly for PA/stage, not the fist choice for hi-fi.
3. On JBL's website there are six 24XX compression drivers, they all can be crossed at above 800Hz, but I don't know how they sound. Their frequency respond don't look ideal above 10KHz from the chart.
4. D220Ti has good high frequency respond from the chart, and reviews are good too. Yet the minimum crossover frequency is 1.5kHz, may be too tight for a 12" woofer.
5. D2 looks fantastic! But I don't know where to get it.

So do you have any suggestions for the choice of drivers? I'm pulling my hair now lol
I'd appreciate your respond.
Thanks!!!
