I'm looking at JBl 2482 drivers. Of course there seems to be quite a difference in price per condition. I could spend the money on a pristine vintage pair for quite a bit of cash. These would be ready to go upon arrival. Or I could buy some not so pretty examples without diaphragms for around $200 each. New phenolics would cost about $100 each. To be on the safe side I could also have them re-magnetized so that they closely match.
To cut to the chase If I refurbished a rough pair with aftermarket phenolics would they perform the same as a pristine vintage pair? I'm wondering if there is a big difference between vintage vs new phenolic diaphragms. Not hung up on looks but would like the same performance. Not interested in the radian diaphragms.
thanks
