Re: Where to get JBL 2226 Dustcap Replaced?
So sorry for your disappointment! I know exactly how that feels. Do a search for "Authorized JBL Service Centers" on the east coast. Surely you'll find some. They can swap that dust cap and make it look exactly like new. Even the nice un...

Re: Am I in the Right Place?
You've got mail! You'll want the spacing between horn and midwoofer to be as close as possible to provide a tall forward lobe. Watch the "Vertical Nulls" video in the "Crossover optimization for DI-matched two-way speakers" link I...

Re: Speaker stands for Pi 3 or Pi 4
Incredible looking speakers! I love 'em! I've run my speakers on low stands, just like yours. I like the way they sound that way, but I do think there's an improvement in sound raising them to ear level and employing flanking subs. So that might be...

Re: My 3π adventure
I like symmetrical multisubs, which is a Welti arrangement. You can use such an arrangement and also include flanking subs. Place the mains with flanking subs outboard. They are just a little behind, beside and below the mains. They are stereo subs...

Re: 3Pi front soundstage build
That would shift the forward lobe downward a couple degrees, but not all that much really. I tend to put my speakers on stands which tilt the forward lobe up three to five degrees. In any case, the forward lobe is tall - with vertical nulls spaced outs...

Re: 4pi build with stands finally realized
Your measurements look good, congratulations! I feel better about that 2226H cone now, because the measurements appear in line with what I expect from the OEM. As for box tuning at 35Hz, that's not bad at all. The expected Helmholtz frequency is 37H...

Re: 4pi build with stands finally realized
It's hard to say from your response chart, because it looks like a mix of on-axis and off-axis, e.g. power response. Were you measuring indoors, perhaps? If so, measure outdoors or setup your equipment for a pseudo-anechoic measurement. Place the mi...

Re: 4pi build with stands finally realized
Those speakers look great, and I'll bet your setup sounds great too. As for the 2226H drivers - you said they were used and asked if they looked like they had original cones - it's really impossible to say. They are dark grey when new, with black sur...
