I'm a DIY'er (sub's) After trying out tons of speakers I just ordered 3 JBL 3677s. They use a 15" driver (2035HPL) which is very similar to the 2226. The bass and dynamics are oustanding in the theater room.

My only probelm is the horn sounds a little scratchy. I have no probelm swapping the horn (JBL 2373) or the CD (2416-1h). I've heard the Selinium D220Ti with an HM17-25 horn and it sounded smoother.

My question is, is it the horn or driver causing the harshness? Is hte 2416h a good driver? If I change the top end should I go with Selinium or B&C for the CD and also what would be a nice smooth horn to fit the 1.2k xover I have in the 3677?

I know I have a lot of quesitons but I know many here (Wayne Very Happy ) have heard tons of horns.
