Hi Wayne -- It gets better. I live in the SF Bay Area just north of Marin and George Lucas. I found a professional speaker repair shop that can get me 2226J's at 16 ohms. Also, he tends to see a lot of JBL 2225 drivers. I take it these are the previous version of the 2226. I just missed out on 8 cabinets stuffed with one 2426 and one 2225 driver apiece. Price? A crushing $300 per cabinet. Groan! He tells me he has similar deals come through on a regular basis. This is getting really fun! John
