The Simply Speakers ones look pretty good to me, if $40/ea ain't too rich for your blood.

If you can find them, there is a throatless 1.5" exit 2450SL driver with the same mounting bolt pattern as the other common JBL drivers. Looks just like a 2451 except for the bolt pattern.

I'd still rather start with the best drivers I could get ahold of as a starting place, rather than try to massage yesterday's drivers into a modern vision. I personally might not be able to fully...
And it's great that jmpsmash's mom has 4367s! My mom would have come as close to piloting the space shuttle as she would have owning some top tier JBL monitors.
Guys run the large format drivers on pretty much any horn they'll fit on. Plenty of guys run them on the M2, I run them on the H4338 that was originally used with a 435AL, Giskard had 476Be on a 1400...
You might try a wanted ad here, I bought mine off eBay.
You don't have to go all the way back to a 2440 era driver to get a 2" driver, a 2450 (not the 1.5" 2450SL, that's a different animal) should still be available for decent money. More modern phase...
Radian 951 still has 1.4" exit, pretty sure the 4367 horn will be 1.5"
Like this
Do you have the lens diffusers on the horns?
If your speaker cables have spades and you need pins, why not just crimp/solder a pin or piece of wire into a spade and then just connect it to the existing spade on the cable with a short bolt?...
2450SL, not the vanilla 2450
The 2450SL is a 1.5" exit snoutless driver, the 2450 is a 2" exit driver with the flared snout.

The drivers with 2" exits like those that are used on the Yuichi have a different flare rate than the snout-less 1.5" exit drivers. I'm no expert, but it's my understanding that the flare rate of the...
There was a story about JBL assembly techs running a ball point pen around the edge of those diaphragms to give better response, but it seems that would have been around the entire circumference....
JBL has some drivers that move in with + at red driver terminal and some that move out with + at red driver terminal. But they seem to have settled on the wire with the black stripe going to negative...
I use my 18Ti as speakers for the TV in the back room. I knew I was happy with the way they performed, then a buddy came over and was blown away by how good the sound was (powered/processed with...
Micro member checking in. Wait, that doesn't sound right.
I recently lined some speakers with that 1" Wrap-On fiberglass. It's evidently NLA, but doesn't shed - I wore a short sleeve shirt when installing it and didn't even itch. Anyway, I read of...
One of the pluses of active as opposed to charge coupled (or passive in general) - I can sit in my easy chair with a laptop and make minute changes in delay, phase, etc. and hear the changes in...
Reminds me of something I posted a while back...
It wasn't, evidently, a Greg Timbers discovery but something passed onto him by Ed Meitner, who was not as far as I can tell, a JBL employee. It's entirely possible GT never measured the effect, just...
That they are both close to the same is a pretty good indication that they aren't too bad off. I can't say for certain how close JBL was able to hold to the 6.25 +/- 10% spec over the years, you'd...
DCR is listed as 6.25 +/- 10%, so down to 5.625 is in spec.
I'd say if the diaphragms are in good shape, should be fine.
No personal experience, but these have good customer reviews, I even recognize some names from here in the reviews. And I see on review from France, so it looks like they ship international.
