Was the driver that sagged sold as a brand-new driver?

I'm a little bit skeptical about brand-new JBL 2226H drivers at $110.00. They're worth at least three times that and often selling for five times that much, so that's a very good deal.

Not saying it can't happen, maybe someone is just needing to liquidate. But they would have absolutely no trouble unloading new 2226H woofers at $350.00, and they'd be giving a good deal at that price beacuse they're really hard to find these days.

JBL is still not shipping 2226H drivers from the factory, and last I heard it would be October before they delivered any. That is 12 months since the last shipment.

Buying a 2226 for $110.00 and getting it reconed for $190.00 is acceptable, in my opinion. It isn't a great deal, but isn't bad either, not at all. When you are done, you are assured of having a 100% good-as-new driver.
