Hi Wayne I’m looking for a good plan for a couple of speakers to match with my 300B SE amplifier. I found Pi projects really interesting but I have a couple of questions for you.My living room is, more or less 5*5 meters (200”*200”), 3 meters high, irregular, but without available corners. The listening point is 3 meter from loudspeakers which are 3 meters distant each other and half to one meter from the rear wall. Due to small space I was thinking of build a couple of Stage IV, but I run into your doubt regarding impedance to match them with SE tube amplifier. A solution could be the Professional series, at almost double the price. A friend of mine is building the Theater IV but they seem to be huge to me. - Any suggestion from you? - What about development of Audiophile series with the new B&C woofer (and the optimized crossover)? Would they be available soon? - is it possible to have plans of Stage, Audiophile and Professional IV? - the JBL 2226 datasheet suggest 1200 Hz maximum frequency, is it compatible with Professional IV (1600 Hz cutting frequency)? - I read some topics concerning a Mid-Horn, possibly to add in a second time. Why don’t you use it in non-corner speakers? - do you ship to Italy and how much would it cost for a couple of kits? Thank you Paolo Poli Italy

Thank you Professional IV would be ok, maybe with Eminence 2002 at the beginning and in a two way setting to limit cost. JBL 2226 seems to be a really interesting woofer. What about plans? And shipping? Would it be to expensive? Paolo

I found that I can source JBL woofers in Mexico. Not only I save on shipping charges but also they are cheaper than in the US. Go to the JBL pro web page and find the link to your country distributor. Call them and ask them about the 2226. They don't carry the 2426 in Mexico though but you may be luckier. xavier

I’m doing some simulation at the moment. The JBL 2226 seems to work much better, especially with low frequencies, than B&C drivers. I could find B&C for very little price (round 50-60 euros each) but JBL are going to be my candidates.In order to complete my decision can I also receive plans of Professional III? Is it possible to use the JBL 2206 with the Eminence 2002 horn, maybe outside the box? Is the low registry of Professional III considerably worst than that of Professional IV?
