Using PA Speakers In A Home "Audiophile" Application!
Hi guys,
I am a bit inspired to explore/trial usage of a pair of PA speakers at home after i attended a live event recently.
I looked at some Yamaha PA models and zoomed in on one that isn't too huge/heavy, relatively easy to move around perhaps.
Are there any audiophiles here who had relative satisfaction trying such speakers at home? I am also thinking that this may not be a great idea, but, just curious at the moment.

Got it. My JBL 4435 and 4430 studio monitors use a JBL 2344 Bi-Radial horn design, specifically for those two monitors. See below: https://www.lansingheritage.org/html/jbl/specs/pro-comp/2344.htm]\ Also see: Sound Producers vs. Sound Reproducers. See article below page five: Mike https://www.lansingheritage.org/html/jbl/reference/notes/tech1-3a.htm |
@ditusa Its worth noting that my drivers use a beryllium diaphragm (as you probably already surmised); the driver is also modified to run a field coil. As far as I'm concerned, JBL knows what they are doing with their horn structures- I've seen no reason to replace mine. The diaphragm uses a Kapton surround so doesn't act weird when you get near the cutoff frequency. As a result its fine with a 6dB/octave crossover. |
