[QUOTE="Ivan Beaver, post: 137890, member: 30"] Re: New DIY Mid High [FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000000] Of course it depends on how the systems were setup. Where were the crossover points-the delays etc? It can make a big difference on what the "perceived sound" is. It can be hard to judge a system if you are not aware of how it was setup. And maybe the person who provided the system liked the particular alignment that you heard. How the crossover is handled can make a big difference on how "disconnected" or not a sub and top cabinet are. Regarding the J1 and J2-they are different cabinets with different intended usages. The low freq capability of the J1 is quite a bit more than any other part of the cabinet and much more than the J2. Even though they both use 6 18" drivers. The drivers are different and they way they are loaded is very different. There are a lot of other differences and intended usages between the cabinets. For example the J2 has greater pattern control down lower and goes lower in freq naturally, but the J1 has much more impact/punch naturally down firing (stadiums where the speakers were up high was the original design idea) and so forth. We had a demo yesterday with a "company that everybody knows", and the comments from the engineers went from "looking at spec sheets does not begin to describe what we are hearing", to "I have been in this business a long time and I have never had so much fun listening to loudspeakers", to "I don't want to sit down-I am so excited". Spec sheets are a good start, but not the ending point for whether or not a particular loudspeaker is correct for a particular job.[/color][/size][/font] [/QUOTE]
