    L220 mids ?

    The L220s (076 tweet, LE14 bass, PR 15 radiator), what are these speakers using for a midrange ?

    To answer your question, LE5-9.

    Most of this type of info you need when researching a particular JBL system can be found here, under Technical Reference - Read Only > "Links" near the bottom of the LH home page:

    http://www.audioheritage.org/vbullet...ad.php?t=10661

    For some reason I always have a hard time finding it when I need it.

    I hesitate to ask but here goes; the difference between a LE5-5 and the LE5-9 is the physical size, yes/no?

    If you haven't already seen it, you might find this thread/post interesting: http://audioheritage.org/vbulletin/s...ead.php?t=5706

    I realize you're easily interested in every model of JBL as a new thread unfolds, and so am I, but do yourself a favor and search this site for "Disco" or "Oracle" and L220 and L222 and see what the general opinion of the model is before you get too involved in creating a clone in an attempt to re-live your former L300 splendor. It might save you a lot of effort! IMHO, of course. There's even an interesting thread out there about improving them by removing the passive radiator and replacing it with a piece of plywood with a tuned port. One ex-member even put an L300 mid-range driver/horn in an L220/222 box.
