The JBL 2426H was our upgrade option for many years. It's a great driver, and the plans still list it and show the crossover parts needed to run it.
We later changed to the B&C DE250 because it also is an excellent driver, and it costs about a third of what the JBL driver costs. It actually measures a little better too.
Still, if you want an all-American version of our four π model, use a JBL 2426H compression driver and a JBL 2226H midwoofer. That makes an excellent speaker.
Similarly, the TAD TD-2002 is a compression driver I've considered listing as an upgrade option from time to time. It extends the top-end a half-octave, due to its beryllium diaphragm. It is very expensive, but for a price-no-object version of our speakers, mount one of those on our waveguide. It can't be beat.
But the DE250 is the upgrade driver we offer because it is just sounds so nice. It is detailed but still smooth, and it measures well. Its cost makes it a no-brainer, in my opinion.
