Hello hello!

I am planing on building the four π speakers and found a good deal (200euros) on a pair of JBL 2426 drivers which should be an upgrade from the B&C DE250 with similar specs, they are even mentioned in the crossover schematics.
Would the four pi build benefit from these or should I stick with the DE250?
Also I would go with the 2226H woofer.

Another thing is I am having trouble ordering the 290C horns, I am located in France and the shipping price is I miscalculated I believe, setting me up at 350$ for UPS shipping!! Wowsers.

Thank you in advance,
Martin

We used to offer the JBL 2426H as an upgrade option but discontinued it because the DE250-8 is a better sounding driver and costs less too.

As for shipping, I recommend using a freight forwarder. They will provide a USA address, which you will then use in the Pi Speakers cart, by entering the address they give you. This will make your shipping costs much lower. Do a search on the internet to find out what freight-forwarding companies are available to you in your area.

Please ignore my mail, I didn't see your answer in time.

If you say so I will go with the B&C compressions then, also will look into freight forwarding.

Thanks for helping out!
