One more thing about the JBL 375, I did play around with them enough, I aligned the diaphragms several times untill they sounded their best and were very listenable,  This was some time ago now, I didnt turn my horns then, so I tried them on the original Hartfield horns with and without the "lenses".  which mainly obscured their sound.  I took them out of the Hartfield cabinet in order to have them sound in free space.  What impressed me about them was how low they would go, I once ran them with no Xover, carefully,  and they sounded very full.  I played with a lot of Xover points etc. until I got tired of them and sold the whole thing for a lot of cash.  It seems the diaphragms got missaligned on transit because the buyer said he was having some scratchy sound on one side, I instructed him how to realign the drivers a couple of times and never heard from him again,  I guess he was succesful.
A close friend had the 2441 with the Edgar 350 horns and they sounded very good also,  but the sound wasnt as I remembered of the 375s...
