I am looking to get some opinions on these two compression drivers. The JBL 2446 versus the 2447. I am itching to build three nice two way, high efficiency speakers for my ht. These will be used with either the JBL 2226 or the AE TD15M for the bottom octaves. I am also debating on using either the Seos 24 or the JBL 2384 waveguides, depending on which compression driver I choose. These will be installed in a baffle wall, and might use an active crossover as I have the necessary amplifier channels and DSP units to do so, or, if I can find someone that would be willing to assist on the crossover, I may go passive. Not entirely sure yet.
The 2446 is a 2" and the 2447 is a 1.5". I will at some point add a Be diaphragm to all 3. I am guessing that the 2447 will be slightly better on the top end being that it is a 1.5" versus a 2"? What are the pro's and cons of using one over the other? I can get the 2447's for under $175 each and the 2446's for around the same price. I like the idea of using a JBL 2384 horn with the 2447 as the horn is relatively cheap and can be shipped and received in less than a week compared to the Seos 24, which would take a long time and cost more.
How do you guys feel about these possibilities and what do you recommend?
