Each horn is about 106dB/W/M. You could drive them with a SET, but I think they're pretty big for home hifi use. I've definitely worked extra hard to make them as high-fidelity as possible though, so I think they're pretty hard to beat. If a guy has the space, they're really excellent speakers, all the right stuff used in all the right ways.

I need a 9Pi!
They're going back soon and I've been wondering how to replace the XLH 1812's 'cause the bass definition from the 2241's is just too good to be w/o.
But I won't miss their bulk!
Maybe building really shallow, wider cabinets to accomodate a direct radiator 2241, a direct 10" whether 2123 or 2012, and the 2442 with a waveguide instead of a horn?
That's basically the XLH without the 31"x31" horn.

I really like the JBL 2241 driver. It works well in cabinets from 4.0ft3 to 12.0ft3 tuned to ~32Hz. A JBL 2241 in ten cubic feet tuned to 32Hz provides nice flat response with f3 of 35Hz and f10 of 25Hz.

The front chamber area is the space between the diaphragm and the throat. It is between the driver's cone or dome and the horn's throat baffle plate or phase plug.
