Vintage JBLs

[castlesteve]

I`m in the process of getting a pair of JBL LE8T-H 8" drivers and would like suggestions as to what cabinet would work well with them. I have a pair of MLTLs with Tangbands that i like very much and am wondering whether this will work with the JBLs? I think JBL specified a 3.3cuft bass reflex cabinet. Maybe a BIB? I think the QTS is too high for horn loading.
Cheers, Steve.

Here`s the Tangband:

They were used in the lancer (88 IIRC) with a passive radiator. I'd try that as a tuning.

Hi Steve,

In fact a TL is very well suited for these drivers, have a look here;

Eric,
Thanks for the link. Have you built a pair of MLTQWT for this driver? If so how do they sound? I owned a pair of Fostex FX200s some years ago and liked their sound and people say that driver is modeled on the JBL.

Hi Steve,

No, I haven't and if I did I wouldn't be selling these drivers

Any other suggestions for using these drivers?
