My setup now. Altece A7's loaded with GPA 416's with mahogony smith style horns loaded with bms coax drivers, and hanging from the cieling is a tweeter array loaded with 2402's.
look higher... left of column top... bright white thingy.
(if it's any consolation, I first thought of the lamps too)
Bloody hell! I was fixing to order a pair of the 2402 loaded lanterns!
I've been toying with various 4350 baffle configurations, trying to conserve floor space real estate, while maintaining the alignment of the voice coils and and aesthetic baffle. The midrange horn length seems to be a controlling parameter on enclosure geometry and shape. This would also allow the 2" mid range motor to be supported on top of a sealed mid-low transducer box and hidden behind a lense.
Has anybody here experimented with installing the port tube for LF transducers around the exterior of the midrange horn, concentrically?
In this fashion, the low freq might emanate closer to the mid range wave front reinforced by the LF transducers below.
At least the idea seems valid at first. I don't recall seeing any such arrangements, although many a coax speaker cone have been designed.
Just finished this up this weekend.
2 2242 in 12.2 cu-ft ported cabinet (crossed at 70 hz)
2 Community Leviathan Mid Bass Horns with 2 JBL 2220's each (crossed at 800 hz)
2 JBL 2397 horns with JBL 2482 motors (crossed at 4khz)
2 JBL 2405 with CNC brackets.
Have not tweeked them much yet but they sound very promissing.
Any thoughts or feedback on the setup would be greatly appreciated. I am always looking for ideas to make things better.
thanks
That thing eat meat...a lot of meat...human meat.
Interesting project.
2ch: WiiM Pro; Topping E30 II DAC; Oppo, Acurus RL-11, Acurus A200, JBL Dynamics Project - Offline: L212-TwinStack, VonSchweikert VR-4

A coaxial-like arrangement... I see that the 2482's fall off pretty quickly above 5KHz,
but asking the 2405 to go down to 4KHz might not be optimal. I imagine the live-ish
"you are there" type dynamics are pretty exciting. If you get a chance to try 2440's or
2441's in place of the 2482... or find a tweeter that likes to play down to meet the 2482
response, it would probably be worth a try, but if you're happy, then "thar ya go."
Nice finish on the 2405 bracket.
