I have heard the 2235 and the 2242.
I found the dynamic punch and speed of the 2242 to be more important than how deep it reproduces down low.
Maybe that is due to the type of music I prefer most of the time for my critical listening consists mostly of natural instraments(orchestra).
The 2242 still does pipe organ well enough to shake everything in the whole house. The notes are felt, not heard though.
I am using Giskards 9 cu ft boxes referenced several times in this forum.
There may be better subs, pick your priorities here: lowest response, fastest attack on transients or total spl output.
The speed of attack of the transients would be my best description of the 2242. And I need no EQ for my needs.
Thanks Giskard for my killer subs!!!!

It isn't important, but I was looking for a comparison to Lansing. I'd be crazy to even try to make my case for having asked, sorry for interrupting your worship service.
Earl, it's no longer a rumour. It's confirmed by Jerry Moro through Giskard

I'm waiting for the ME150 cone kits and will recone my 2227 frames soon.
The McCauley doesn't have the midbass dynamic range of the JBL 2242 or 2245, or the 2235. Just doesn't seem to "snap" the same way.
If you're using the subs at REALLY LOW frequencies (ie BELOW 50 Hz, the McCauleys work fine. But, they're not my cup of tea on midbass...
If you're looking for something that should TROUNCE the Sub1500, the TC Sounds LMS-series drivers should do the trick. The Sub1500 isn't even CLOSE to as linear at high excursion as the TC LMS-4000 series 15". Like, the LMS has HALF the distortion at rated X-max... which is HIGHER on the LMS than the SUB1500! Yes, they're every bit as expensive as the JBLs (if not MORE expensive, IIRC), but they're pretty much the state-of-the-art in motor design right now, AFAIK. Takes BIG amps to drive them, but you get the rewards in an astounding LACK of colorations!

If those aren't impressive enough, check out the LMS5400 series. Way big money, but I don't think anything else on the planet will touch it, at this point in time...

"Indeed, not!!"
No need for a new thread. I do not wish to discuss other brand products. I now have all the information I need. To say more would be to poke a bear.
