Loudisbeautiful Posted December 10, 2005 Author Share Posted December 10, 2005 Hi Dirk, I do not yet know the cost....however, JBL did what I have been saying for years to do.......get rid of the enclosure.....it simple but brillent............I hope klipsch engineers are watching this one.......from what I heard its an extremely clean and clear horn......looks cool too! I love klipsch....however, competition is good for all!!!!!......Go JBL!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djk Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 "Sensitivity 89 db , pass ... " Let's compare apples with apples here. Trey mentioned on this forum a while back that they add 3dB~4dB for 'room gain', that would bring the JBL up to 92dB or so. Change the voice coil to something that measures 3 ohms instead ot the 6 ohms that JBL makes, and you will pick up another 3dB. Now we are up to 95dB. The 1/3rd of an octave bass extension compared to a Cornwall costs you 3dB, the 1/2 sized cabinet another 3dB. If you were willing to accept the box size, bass cut-off, and impedance of a Cornwall, it would have the same 2.83V sensitivity of 101dB.... I hear you saying you like the trade-offs Klipsch made vs JBL. I've heard the 3" aluminum diaphragm driver the JBL uses for the midrange, for $246 as a replacement part it is incredible. I've heard the LE-14 woofer too, ditto. I have not heard that tweeter. As a $15K speaker the cost/value ratio doesn't look to good to me. As a DIY project with $1K of drivers, it is a different matter. You could even double up on the woofers and really go to town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edwinr Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 Interesting design. I wonder what they sound like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3dzapper Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 These were discussed in General a while ago. "JBL's Project Array is a home theater speaker system featuring horn drivers for the midrange and treble. Price is $25,550 for the main speakers, plus $4,000 if you add the optional left and right subwoofers (one is at far left in the photo, which shows only one speaker from each of the left/right front and surround pairs" (Sound and Vision) Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
