    2220's ;)

    I got me a pair of them there 2220's - should arrive in a few days.
    If they sound as good as they model then 2/5's of my system will be JBL

    I did use a pair of JBL2435Be 1.5" compression drivers on the upper mid, but tried the S2 route and once getting them refurbed by Mike at Vitavox with the new diaphragms etc etc there was no going back...

    The JBL 2220 that Mostly recommended models even better!

    Nice, I hope you like them.

    I havent heard the vitavox S2 but I have read quite a lot about them and they seem very popular. I would love to try a pair one day. They are hard to come by and ebay prices are just ridiculus on those. You even prefer them to the 2435Be, that says alot about them I would say.

    They are a very sweet driver but really belong on multi-cells, and crossed over at 800Hz+
    Otherwise, best suited to home use off passive x-o's and a smallish valve amp.
    I set up a pair for a mate, and he loved 'em, until he changed his setup and tried using an active x-o, and inadvertently dialled 'em in at 100Hz, and blew 'em to bits in no time flat.

    Try and find a replacement pair of diaphragms for them, and not have to mortgage your house!

    Better to stay with stuff that's more accessible should the worst happen.

    Agree. I use my 1200Hz and up passive and on a small EL-84 SET. I find the sound so sweet and precise - stunning.
    They are rare and you're better off buying non working ones and having them refurbed and new diaphragms fitted to get the best spec.
    They are in new production too! £3500 each I believe.

    My JBL2220's are on a slow boat from Canada...

    How much are the replacement diaphragms now?

    I also like 2220's. Their cones are so much lighter than any of the 'ribbed' cones giving the impression of being more responsive (faster), and to my ageing ears have a nice "even-ness" (?) to them.
    They don't go down to 20Hz, but there's a lot above that, that it will do, and do it well.

    My 6x EL-84 amp (not SET tho') is still my fave amongst my collection and used daily.

    … and yes, ALL boats from Canada are slow. Took me 3 months to get a delivery recently, (after paying for Airmail).

    I had a pair of 2220As in a home system decades ago... I knew far less about designing speakers and the subwoofer concept hadn't emerged yet. I was never able to really be happy with them.

    I hear wot you're saying Widget.
    I use to cheat a little bit by adding a DBX 100 Boombox to get that extra ! or 2 Hz. The 2220's (in J-bins) would cope nicely and can go lower, if you didn't go crazy with the volume control.
    I wasn't a critical listener back then as I was basically a rock n' roll live sound guy, so wot did I know?
    …. and now I'm too old and can't tell the difference anyway.
    As long as there's music, and I can tap my toe to it, I'm happy.
