Are TR126 worth buying?

[Don Mascali]

I can get a pair of JBL TR126 for $375.I have tried looking up the transducers on the JBL Pro web site and they have 2412H HF drivers. These don't seem to be very desireable and the LF are 124-67000-00X which I can't seem to find any thing about.

I thought they might be good to have around for a small gig or outdoor party.

Should I pass on these? I seem to have this "Buy anything JBL" disease that is rampant on this board.

Any opinions would be welcome, Thanks,

Don M

TR's are kinda "low end." For the same money (or less, even), you can find older but very nice Cabaret series boxes with REAL drivers in them.

Watch for 4628B, for example: E145, 2118, 2404. Sweet!

Or 4691B: E140, 2425 on 2370A. Loud!

More bass? 4625B: E140 alone in the same sized box.

Invert either of the others on top of 'em for MTM stacks....

Zilch,

Nice looking setup... I have the Sony pre that you have in that pre I want the rest of that line (no money for that right now though).

Don,

Really dont waste your time with TR stuff. Have a little respect for your ears lol. The woofer is just a stamped steel frame useless thing. and the 2412 makes a nice paper weight.

[Zilch]

Yeah, those are for the Church of Tutti Frutti.

Gonna use 'em to broadcast the "Call to Prayer" to the environs you see out the window there:

"Tutti frutti, oh rutti, Tutti frutti, oh rutti,
Tutti frutti, oh rutti, Tutti frutti, oh rutti.
Tutti frutti, oh rutti,
Wop bop a loo bop a lop bam boom!"



[Startin' small. REALLY need somethin' more like Tom's theater setup....]

Thanks for the feedback.

It pains me to see that JBL really is putting out "Junk But Loud".

The ones in my avitar are my baby's 2 EV EVX155's, and an NDYM 6 horn, the subs are 2 2258's. They would be EVX 180s but those are too damn heavy. I love the 2258's. I have 2 pairs of 4691b's at the shop and they are used for everything I can manage to use them for. are those sub 1500's in the bottom boxes. I really want a pair of those. For now I have Eminence Lab 12s to use

Zilch:

nice looking gear ( I'm fond of the MTM thingy myself). What are your crossover points to the subs?

[Zilch]

Are those sub 1500's in the bottom boxes?

Yup. I did a thread on them here:

http://audioheritage.org/vbulletin/s...ead.php?t=2731

4625B's a little "frail" for Sub1500's.

What are your crossover points to the subs?

They just run on the Sony sub output, like 120 Hz, I think. I've got a 5235A with 18 dB 80 Hz cards, if I need separate, and a BX63A I should try.

Gonna use the 5235A on the 4688 subwoof's sendin' me. Don't know what I'm gonna put in that, pair of E155 to start, maybe. Stock would be wimpy-weenie 2240H's. No 2242H's here, alas....

I COULD make some adapters and put Sub1500's in it, maybe. I need some software that'll model bandpass boxes first, tho....

I have a pair of TR225s, not particularly impressed with them. I think the OEM 15"s are identical to some Eminence I had, but I'm not 100% sure. The TR cabinets have needed a bunch of fixer upper/reinforcement work just to survive, and I'm far from abusive to them. I got them in a deal with a Crown amp, and essentially sold the Crown for enough profit that the JBLs were maybe $200 for the pair to me, and even at that price I'm only OK with the deal.

Liked the Cabaret series I used to have, I think they had 2 x 10's and a bi-radial horn? I could be hallucinating, or confusing them with some EAWs I had. Too much exposure to the 6 x 18" EAW sub scoops I had has scrambled my memory for good.

Yup. They're 8" pair, 2118J, actually, and 2404H-1 tweets. 4612B. VERY nice little boxes.

JBL's usin' a similar configuration for their new top o' line Synthesis HT center, now. Some ideas are just plain GOOD!

4612B ... [Shown stacked on Sub1500's in the thread linked above....]

Err...Zilch - you've got the 4628B's above the Sub1500's in your pic - you can't quite see the 4612B's, which are actually behind the 4628B's in the pic.

That settles it. When a guy doesn't know what's where, he's got too much stuff. CA law requires him to give some of it to the last two guys he did a favor for or that did a favor for him.

I get CONFUSED sometimes, O.K.?

When it comes to Cabarets, it's ALL good!
