Would 2x15 inch per side be a better option as per the Everest? I find the efficientcy of the 2245s fine and believe they are more Hifi than the 2242s?
Thanks Widget, my guess is that its the law of dinminishing returns and subjective. I cross the 2245s fairly high 160hz so it's a difficult act to better. I found the change from the 2123 to the...
I want to try a unit in my 4 way active HiFi system.
The old JBL 2245 has always been recognised as being very musical but do any of the modern transducers surpass its performance. Has to be obtainable of course. I cross up to a pair of 1400pros.
If using in an active XO, time aligned setup, there is propagation delay in these amps, the XO delay will need to be readjusted accordingly.[/QUOTE]
Can you please expand on that statement yes I...
Yes we forget sometimes to listen to the music.
Yes
Best driver to take over from JBL 2450 on E-JMLC 300 horn crossed at 8000 hz to Beyma Slot tweeter now.
Looking to drop the crossover point down to say 6000 hz any non JBL would be acceptable....
I found a pair of JBL 1400 sounded a lot better than the 2123 crossed at 160 hz or even lower to the 2245 and then 800 hz to JBL 2450s on E-JMLC 300 horns.
You will need something up top 8000 hz +...
Thanks for that. Another post on DIYAUDIO claimed it summed the Channels when set low.
I have been informed that this amplifier summs the output at low frequency settings can anyone confirm?
If so that would mean buying two and running in mono mode!
My old Yamaha M80 runs my JBL 1400s but its old and unreliable. My M60 went up in smoke recently.
I was thinking of trying a Crown XLS 2500 on the JBL 1400s they cross at 160hz and 800hz.
I find...
I use the Crown XLS 2500 on my JBL 2245s with great success the fans hardly ever kick in on a domestic system and are virtually inaudible.
As this is supposed to be high end HiFi I was thinking of...
Go to the Marchand website you can download a very good programme there.
The problem with DSP is the DACs. A Dac has a major influence on the sound.
My ideal system would be DSP outputting in 4 channels digital to four dacs using Stereo Coffee Lightspeed attenuators for...
Its a Crown XLS 2500 not an expensive amplifier but it controls the JBL 2245s far better than my Musical Fidelity KW 500 did.
Another revelation one of my Yamaha M60s went faulty so in desperation...
I don't know if this is any help but I run 4 way active with a Marchand XM44 3 way crossover, the Crown class D on the bass has its own crossover.
With the DAC having such a large influence on the...
I now use a lightspeed attenuator as my main control and noticed an immediate increase in bass control, I guess a better impedance match. Now I am going to contradict myself, my Lampizator DAC went...
Yes I have had a good look through the Forums, My system is flexible enough to try experimenting till I get the best sound for my listening room.
I have a pair of JBL 2245s in 8 cubic feet boxes with two 6" dia ports 12" long this is giving me about 32 Hz from the ports measured.
It seems that I could increase the length of the ports (...
Just wondering how the TAD TL 1102 performs in place of the JBL 2123? Crossing 160 Hz and 800 Hz.
Just wondering if the JBL 2213 is any good for midbass crossing from 160-260 hz then 800hz?
What volume box would be best?
Thanks

exaSound e28 Multichannel USB DAC.
Has anyone tried one of these in a 4 way active system?

Not my words but very much what I believe:
While I have a plethora of test equipment such as LMS which will run gated frequency responses to duplicate anechoic conditions, spectrum analysers,...
