Beyma CP-25 vs. J.B.L. 2404

I found me two JBL 2404's for $275.

If I get these, I feel that all I would need to do is put a L-Pad on my tweeter end of the AK-3 crossover.

Is there anything else that I should to the AK-3 ?

***I appreciate everyones help.***

Craig,

Try 'em, you'll like em!

Look into Al K's tweeter autoformer The "ALtenuator".(my name for it) That's what I have been running with JBLs. Cute little (4x4') bugger too, I find -3db just about right in my system. Yours may vary depending on room accustics.

Rick,

I was going to see if Erik could do his magic and place an L-Pad to the tweeter area of my AK-3's. I already have the L-Pad mod on my Horns.

**How long have you had your JBL 2404's?

**What did you notice the most w/ these JBL's vs the K-77 stock tweeter?

** Was there any thing else you had to do to your crossoverto add these JBL's?

(...on John Warren's site he states attatching the JBL's to a 6kHz, 3rd order Butterworth filter)

No problem. I am using my L-pads in my Belles myself right now until I can afford some more ALK kits. I even installed them in the Heresys and KG-4.5s I have.

I've had the 2404s for a little more than a year now. The difference? Cleaner, more realistic, smoother and extended highs. Other than that........

I am using ALK networks with a 6K xover and I can't use Mrs Butterworth syrup anymore on my diet. Seriously, You'd have to ask Al what type filter he designed. From what I have read, the AK3 has higher order filters than the older As or AAs.

Who -- you were commenting on 100x100 compared to 100x60 -- then ended with a comment about 45x90 -- just curious how that one got into the picture.

I was referencing the dispersion of the squaker...which is what the tweeter has to integrate well with.
