    2216ND Differential Drive

    I find this driver very interesting with all the thought JBL put into building this driver. I think it has 7 new patents and even the voice coil wire is all new.

    What are all the patents?

    Thanks for that,

    For fun the other day I did a side by side of the S-4700 and Array 1400's.

    Played a ton of my own music I have collected over forty years. I think everyone in this forum raves about the 1400's, and rightfully so because I fell in love with the sound from day one. Now the S-4700 have come out and I must say I love the sound they reproduce also.

    What is amazing to me is you would think they would sound very similar but in my opinion they sound entirely different. I did find they bass extension on both extremely good but The S-4700's just delivered the same low frequency much more accurately and far faster tighter, if that is the right description.

    So to anyone trying to analyze these two products I would say spend at least 1 hour going back and fourth to determine what your ears prefer.

    For me I would get a pair of each.

    Thats exactly the way I hear it. That 2216Nd is a sweetheart for sure. In my experience with all these only the 1500 /1501Al series drivers can best them.

    If we knew what the hell we were doing, we wouldn't call it research would we.

    For me the magic of the 1400 Array is entirely in the horn... it's overall smoothness but most especially the imaging. The bass of the 1400 is fine, quite pleasant in fact, but it certainly isn't the ultimate in detail and resolution.

    According to 4313B,1400 can give you real old school bass,4700 and 4365 even 9900 can not offer this

    Thanks for the driver Pictures What a masterpiece at that price range. I hope they offer more models with that driver in the future because right now it is just the M2 and S-4700.

    I would like a model between the S-4700 and K2-9900 with this woofer and a compression driver midrange and UHF that is a little more heavy duty than what is in the S-4700.

    Hope Greg reads this.

    Doesn't 4365 do this job very well?

    Well the M2 is the one in the midile of the K2 9900 and the S4700

    the M2 has a better compresion driver than the S4700 and a great horn plus its active

    below the s4700 you have the array 1400 whichi s a very good speaker

    so i see it dificult to go down or up having the 1500al family

    now imagine a Everest DD68000 K2 10000 active with the 1500al family and a new horn with a nice berilum compresion driver

    Sorry I should be more specific. What I was meaning is a consumer Model loudspeaker.

    The M-2 is a professional loudspeaker that I do not think most audiophiles will put in there living room plus they have no passive crossover within the loudspeaker.

    The 4365 studio monitor series is not sold in Canada and I do not think it is available for the U.S. Either.

    So for me back to wishing for a consumer model product in between.

    Then M2 home edition (within crossover in it) must be your wish
