I work in the developmental engineering world and am used to a practice of building a “proof of concept” version of the device or system and from there defining the final version.
I am using that concept with my speaker system as I am new to this and want some flexibility to experiment and experience different components along the way.
I started a thread, “Speaker recommendations please” a week or so ago which was immensely helpful. As the result of the helpful and informative responses to that thread I decided to try a 128H as a mid-bass. As I am looking for a turnkey version I think a L112’s or 120Ti’s will do nicely. That gives me a JBL representative speaker to use immediately and gives me the flexibility to bypass the crossover and other drivers and use just the 128H as a mid-bass. The box and port will likely require some tuning/modifications but that should be fun and informative and could likely serve as a host for 2206’s if I decide to give them a try.
For the bass I am looking for a pair of L200 cabinets to host the 2235H’s.
Still going to start with the 2405’s for the top end but I am rethinking the 2446/Truextent Be/2380a’s for mids and am looking for suggestions. A CD/horn combination that would complement the other components I have in mind.
Subjective information on how they may differ in sound. HiFi vs SR, etc. I also need general information on horns. How their sound may differ as the result of their shape.
I have been searching and reading posts on AH but would appreciate some specific input.
Many thanks!
