Post Subject: Re: JBL 2440Posted by stuck.wilson on: 9/16/2006
the sad truth was the space, the finite funds, and the available bms pucks! the sad truth also, i suppose,the lack of available, and sensitive horn users to bounce off of!
i could probably see what your dislike of the bms stems from-- i tried to get rid of the 16-20k 'bump'.. but to no avail (with an inductor as an experiment, which killed everything else..). kinda gives that fakey tizz to everything.. i tried every combination of bypass cap and attenuation possible.. but if you fix one thing, you lose another!
the 2440 goes up- looks like-- safely to about 8k- i'll have to look and see what horns'd be compatible.. my current driver is a 1", as is the throat of the horn. seems like it'd follow a pretty traditional cap, lpad, and compensation cap passive crossover, and a good supertweeter might come in around 11k-ish?
or maybe i should tax the little altec a little less and cross it over lower.. that'd probably be even better.
if i was to take it up a tier from the 'casual dining' to the 'collared shirt/no jeans'.. not quite the 'jackets required..', what might be that step- or would a different bass box pretty much be the necessary component?
world class... well.. that might never be me.. but i'm doin the best i can with what i've got.
thanks much for the feedback-
