2446h on 2380 vs 2425/6 on 2344

Which has technically better performance crossed at approx. 1000Hz?

In what metric? They are different in nearly every way including how loud they will play cleanly.

What are you up to?

The 2446 will have less distortion and the ability for more spl output than the 2425/26
Also the 2344 horn will exhibit better imaging and soundstage than the 2380
If you use a better horn on the 2” driver you would like the outcome better

Thanks all. It was a nebulous question to begin with. The 2446h/2380 combo showed up locally (which NEVER happens). A passing justification to get them prompted the question, but I am done collecting.

I am starting to get a Left-Center-Right setup working with the 2446H on a 2380 horns with cabs 4648A-8. Room is 15x25x8H and the listening distance will be 15ft for music and movies. Not aiming for max SPL.

To complete the thought exercise, what would be a better horn for this application? I like the idea of "better imaging and soundstage."

Thank you!
