Romy,Since you have had experience with this particular driver, I wondered about your opinion of the sound. In my system I have the Edgarhorn Titans which use the JBL 2441 as the midrange horn driver. While I am generally quite happy with...

Hi Romy,Its an Altec 416-8A driver in a ~100 Hz exponential horn, Jbl 2441 in 350Hz tractix, Aurum Cantus G1 tweeter and Eminence Definimax 4012 HO in ~30Hz Tapped horn.I just hooked it up and the highs are promising but I thought the lower end (200 ...

JBL 2441 also seems interesting candidate, perhaps "smoother" than 2440:Duke LeJeune of Audiokinesis recommends them as a "poor man`s TAD"Beyma CP755ND/AL 1.4"http://profesional.beyma.com/ENGLISH/pdf/descarga.php?pdf=CP755NdAL.pdfSome interesting alu...

These are clearly JBL pots and back covers (which have been milled flat). The refinishing job is quite nice, but the origins are clear. Also, the phenolic diaphragm is clearly for the 2482/2485 (and looks like a JBL part), which has a slightly wider ...

My current speakers are Edgarhorns with the straight 80hz upper-bass shell. The bass never sounded correct to me. The problems with Edgar's mid-bass are well documented at this site and elsewhere. I tried some simple modifications to the crossover...

Somebody from AA was asking about electromagnet. The subject pup up here from time to time but this time Bruce Edgar uploaded an interesting comment. Bruce is not a typical AA Moron and if he says “inaccurate things” then it is not due to ignoran...

Can I ask all of you who may have a valid alternative of the WE555 to a 4-way system so composed?High: super tweeterMedium-high: Iwata horn with JBL 2441 or similarMedium-low: WE15A horn with driver ...? (I have the JBL 2482 is ok for a WE15A?)Lo...

Adrian, I had Edgarhorns that have evolved since I bought them in 2005. In my current set-up, nothing remains of the original Edgarhorns as conceived by Bruce, other than the speaker system remains front loaded horns. I noticed the same sense of he...

If you are happy and enjoy the sound, that is all that matters!Do you have pics of your system?What drivers are you using? JBL 2441? Tweeters?What version of UBH do you have?I have a very close friend with a wonderful Edgarhorn system, I understand t...

Adrian,
This it truly complicated question. The Titans’ upperbass (the better one, curved, with 12” driver) is not realty HF capable and it makes a MF driver need to go all the way down to probably 500Hz (I do not know what Bruce dies in the crossov...
|
|
The other possibility is that the MF issues can be the problem with the JBL 2441 rather than the amplifier, and it would behoove me to explore the Vitavox driver.

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 orig...

A six year ago or so when I played with different compression drivers I bought a pair of Dukane 5A540 and at that time I was not able to find any information about them. Nowadays I was pointed out that an eBay sealer “ bayleafs” actions a pair of Duk...

The EdgarHorn Titan is a very well made speaker, but I have identified in it a limitation in the midrange where the frequency response may not be ideal. This will become clear after I have analyzed the speakers with RTA.
Thinking ahead, I want to...

Jorge, not to stoop to a shopping list, but I thought I also mentioned the 375 in the post where I introduced Rullit. Anyway, I meant to. Since there is no mention of the 375 there now, I will drop it again. This was the driver I lusted after in my...

Personal, I do not use WE555 and I do not (would not) use the WE555-type horns. Hypothetically if one would go for 4-way system with WE555-like driver in upperbass then it is valid solution, not something that I appreciate but valid. The WE555 is ve...

I had a SG370 mid apart only yesterday.I should have taken a photograph.I have also seen the inside of the tweeter.They are very similar,so I have no reason to suppose the low mid SG 505 will be much different.I'll try to explain.I think they a...

Hi, Tim. This is difficult question, and it is difficult in it’s abstractivnes. I really do not understand, or understand but refuse to acknowledge the validity of the word “respectable”. How valid for YOU would be a “reputation” of this driver if it...

I chose the EdgarHorns for fairly simple reasons. I have listened to them and I loved the way they sound. They are not the perfect loudspeaker, but they make much truer music than what I have now. Also, the price I paid is less than...

Romy I have not herd so much doulble talk in a long time. Some of the best sounding drivers on the market in the last 60 years, were for sound reinforcement. I do believe, in a 2 way speaker system crossed over at 800hz with a good wood horn i wil...
