I feel the 2370 jbl is better, in as much as it more accoustically dead. i like my 511 b much better than the 811b in this regard, but my 511bs are a later harder to find model that comes with the vanes already cut and some kind of rubbery stuff in there. The ones with soild welds will ring more, but they can be modded of course. My 811bs ring like a bell. As to the 2526,it does not roll off any sooner than any of the altec drivers, and sound to my ears to have a little more high end, but maybe its just different. I don't find that much difference at all in terms of response between the 811b and the 2370b, but the directivity may differ due to size, the 2370b is more like the 511b in that regard. the 2002 is a nice driver and all, but not in the same class as the altec or JBL units...that being said, I feel safe in saying that it has a little more on the high end than either the 802, 902 altec or 2526 jbl. ( or 2425 for that matter) It's price is dynamite for the performance given. Just my thoughts, nothing more! Russellc
