Hi guys!

I have a question for Wayne and possibly others. I'm wondering if it would be possible to shorten the middle section of the corner horn to decrease the overall depth of cabinet. I'm not sure how much effect the speaker driver to corner apex measurement has on the function of the conical horn. Is the prescribed design a matter of design symetry or acoustics? How much tolerance to design deviation is possible without acoustical penalty? Thanks! Jerrod

I wouldn't change this dimension by an appreciable amount. You really don't want them to be too close or make the side orifice too small. You can fudge it some, but not enough to make the cabinets appear any less deep. But really, when you get these things pushed back in the corners, they don't seem to be all that deep. Make a mock up with cardboard and you'll see what I mean.

Thanks Wayne,

Somehow I thought that would be the answer, but thought it was worth a try anyway! I've cardboarded it and the footprint is really quite tolerable, but am trying to downsize where ever possible. Trying to compromise with the little lady! She gave a thumbs down on the waf factor on the 2370A's. Ironically I think they're beautiful! Luckily she really likes music and I'm convinced after one listen she'll be putty in my hands. Sounds good anyway! Jerrod

Re: JBL 2370's

You can show her some of those Martinelli horns. Maybe she'd
like those better. Then you can show her the price. Maybe the
JBL's won't look so bad afterall. I have to put a grill on
everything I bring in the house.
