Says "add to cart" at Speaker Exchange so some are available.
There may be some confusion here. The 2216nd was used in the S4700 and the M2. As opposed to the 2216nd-1 which was used in the 4367. Two vendors in the US include Speaker Exchange in Florida and Pro Sound Service in Braintree MA. Please note that if the Speaker Exchange Website shows the item as in stock, it is best to contact them directly and verify
Thanks for the responses. So they are unavailable.
I already knew that SpeakerExchange has 2216ND for sale. However, I read that the later version ND-1's cone is coated with Aquaplas. JBL's old Aqualplas-coated woofers sound awesome. Esp. those white-cone ones. So, I believe the ND-1 version is a better woofer.
Recently I have purchased two pair of Bliesma beryllium dome tweeters and midranges. I wanted to build a three way with these Aquaplased 15-inchers... but as it seems, they are not available...

Related Reading on the 2216nd-1
The 2216nd-1 doesn't really have much aquaplas on it.
It's just a narrow band ( 2"-3" wide ) painted on the back of the cone.
Grumpy posted a few pics of the coating sometime back.
Here they are :
I would not normally answer such a subjective question but here goes. I have 2235's E-145's and 2216nd's all in active service. I have a pair of 4344's as well with 2235's bi-amped.
The 2235's and E-145's are in my active system the 2216nd's in my passive "M2" clone.
In the active they cover the range 20-300 Hz and and the 2216's from 20-700.
Well here goes I always found the 2235's to be a bit punchy in the sense they popped. With the E-145's they cracked and sounded sharper. Really lousy way to describe this.
Frankly could be the difference is bandwidth related.
In the active I get the low end from the 2235 and balance from the E-145 and in my mind the pair is better than the individuals.
The 2216's sound like the paired drivers You get the low end and the crack in one driver.
JMHO you really need to hear the 2216nd's and decide for yourself. I think they are really great drivers.

I just ordered two of them from the SpeakerExchange.
Thanks guys for all the info.
So the 2216nd has the "punch" of the 2235 combined with the "snap" of the E145.
Thanks Rob. That's great praise.
IMO, you're one of the TOTL, go-to guy for these sort of opinions ( having built so many Lansing systems using Legacy & New Series Product ).
Ramin, I don't have any 2216nd's ( I'm really trying to down-size >> & so far it's not going too well ).
Show Off!!! How do they sound 8 Cubic Ft Cinema box 40 Hz??
LOL Rob
