Sometimes, in life, we must accept that things are no longer as they use to be. Such a time is at hand for me, and Im considering brands, and models of new, factory made and engineered complete full range systems! Unfortunately, parts for some vintage speakers are no longer available, and what you can get is not the same as it was, so, change is inevitable!
JBL! Their custom shop makes a complete full range enclosure called the Dance5, with its triple 14in woofers, horn loaded cone midrange, and HF horn/driver! A fairly large cabinet, I would need six of these if I chose JBL, and what Im asking is anyone who has experience with this line, what do you think? Or do you have other suggestions? ( would be nice to keep it !JBL if I like this box )
Other considertations are EAW,s DC-1 and KF-850,s!
Space is a limiting factor in my room as I cannot exceed 30in cabinet depth, and approximately 47in height!
I have heard JBl,s CMCD,s in other pro reinforcement cabinets, and I do think their cone mid compression drivers have that dynamic snap that so typifies the JBL sound!
