DT .. would love to see you post your progress in the DIY section. The 2123 looks super clean. How's the sound?
@puppet ,
I had a similar stack of speakers in my listening room setup in a house that I sold last summer. Different speakers would rotate in and out of the stack. I had never measured them before. I used a hand held SPL meter to avoid blowing out my ears.
The JBL 2123H mid-range plays really loud really easy at very low levels of distortion. It hits transients crisply. It plays on just a few watts, 101 db’s at 1watt at one meter.
I like the way the JBL2123 sounds much better than compression drivers and horns/waveguides for the mid range voices. The JBL2123 does not sound like a horn.
The JBL2123 does not require much if any equalization, the Frequency Response is really flat enough.
You are correct; I will post progress of the latest setup in the new house in the DIY section.
Rane AC23s active crossover, Crown ComTech amplifiers, one amplifier per driver.
Thanks DT
