The DX25 tweeter was the same as in current models, it's the midwoofer that I updated. I love JBL woofers, what with their shorting rings giving 15dB less distortion. But I did feel that the 2206 was an awkward match, and in the end, I scrapped it.
My favorite all-time one π version was one I made about 30 years ago with a JBL 2115 midwoofer. Just a wonderful speaker. It's a moot point though, because they're unobtanium now. Can't even get recone kits for them, so even when you can find them used, there's no way to service them. And you'd have to, because the voice coils in them were delicate. They were a very different animal than the rest of the JBL Pro Series, which is why I suspect they go the boot. But they sure sounded good.
