Marchand doe crossovers not EQ and his crossovers are not so good sonically BTW, but I do not like even the idea of active crossovers anyhow. It is obvious that 2105/LE5 is not so simple driver to begin with but searching for “straighter” driver is exactly what I would like to avoid for MiniMe. My relationship with my ego is in such a format that I have no problem to declare a defeat from JBL 2105/LE5 and cash it out by other means. This is a second system and I do not want to invest efforts to cure the 2105/LE5 with something like this.

There is one more thing that I did not mention but it very much worth to mention – that G10 drives me absolutely nuts. With all those positive qualities of this material I have developed a very mean allergy to the G10's dust. So, each time I open up the box and play with filter or drivers I curse the damn moment I touched the G10. If I need I would take the measures froe beginning bit now it is too late already.

I still feel that JBL 2105/LE5 is a wonderful driver but as many drivers it is very much not linear up to the point of contemporary high quality home reproductions. It needs a lot of work to become as good as it might be and I do not want to be involved into this work for the …second system.
