050TIJ vs 035TI

[kalle303]

I need some expert advice. Since it's impossible to find 050TIJ diaphragm/membranes for my 250 Jubilee, my JBL dealer told me i could replace them with 035TI or 035TIA.

They say they also come in gold colour.

Is this a smart move at all? Is there any difference in the sound. Would I loose any "quality"

My last option is to by a complete set of 050TIJ which will cost me a great deal of money :-)

Any input is more than welcome.

Do you want to restore your speakers?
Or do you want to save money?

The 250ti Jubilee tweeters can only be replaced completely. No dias available.
The tweeters are expensive.

Another option is to buy nice looking ebay spares as most here do. Problem is that you can't see the inside of these ebay "bargains". You will probably end again looking for tweeters when the ebay stuff is finally cooked.

Whatever...

You can replace them with 035Tis. Don't worry about the colour. It does nothing with the sound. A jubilee with 035Tis is no longer a jubilee though.
Oh, the 035Tis are also expensive.
But then there is ebay....

Thanks for the input Guido.
Do you mean that the 035Ti is not same quality as 050TIJ?
The good thing with 035Ti is that i can get just the dias for a low cost.

Of course do I want the best for my speakers :-)

The 035Ti is an excellent tweeter as the 050Ti is. They are just not the same and the crossovers for these 2 babies are also not the same.

I'm almost sure the 035 dias won't fit the 050 tweeters.

PM me with your 050ti offer. I'll see what I can do for you.
Please understand, I offered many rare JBL spare to forum members and finally needed to learn that there are many wal marters out there. Their JBL "love" ends rapidly when it comes to paying.
People must understand that JBL and not we dealers makes the spare parts prices.

But as said, there is ebay

I don't think the hole spacing is the same on the 050 and the 035. I will take a look when I get home and throw some pictures up, If you want to go with the 035's you may want to look at the 052's instead. Current in the 4400 monitor series and much more reasonable.

thanks for the tip Rob.
What kind of tweeter is 052?
And my question still is if the 035 is not same sound qulaity as the 050. Maybe you know?
