So, with this horn I got the sound I was dreaming for!
Currently system consists of 4 channels:
1. RAAL Lazy Ribbon (14k+)
2. JBL 2453 in 550Hz LeCleach (1200 - 14k)
3. JBL 2490 in first part of own JBL horn (300-1200)
4. 12" Supravox in 42Hz 2m long horn (70-300Hz)

All 4 channels are around 110db connected to a single SET amp 18Watt based on GM-70 tube.

Not expected for me, that I feel enough bass...I don't feel that I need another channel down to 20Hz. All instruments sounds very real without any lack of bass. Looks like 50Hz+ range is so colorfull, that 50Hz- become not so important!I'm very impressed with the result and really hapy to be where I'm now with my system!

I'm still waiting for 200Hz LeCleach and 270LeCleach, so I'll try them with JBL2490.The only alternative to JBL2490 I can see is WE555 clone from Line Magnetics and I already ordered it.It is only 1" throat, but can go down to 200Hz, so comparision will be interesting.Unfortunately, I'm failed to order Vitavox S2 for now...Mike can't send it to private address in Moscow...may be it is VAT issue between EU and Russia - I don't know. But before I look for other ways to get it, I have very important question.
Is Vitavox S2 capable to go down to 300Hz ?
Because now it is obvious, that my 42hz upper bass horn can't go higher than 300Hz, so I really need driver capable of doing 300Hz.
For now, as I can see, it is only JBL2490 and may be WE555.
Any other suggestions ?
