Years ago (1980) I bought four brand new JBL E-110's for my guitar amp project. They are way too hot for guitar! They really will bleed your ears.
Anyway, I special ordered these with four ohm voice coils. (OC Speaker, in Garden Grove Calif)
I have a photo copy of the original spec sheet, and it shows the efficiency rating at an unbelieveable 108dB / 1W / 1M. (!!!)
108dB is truly incredible compared to today's offerings. Does this SPL spec sound right? Has the measurment standard changed since the early 80's?
I used to work at Altec Lansing, and for a while I did the production line testing for all their drivers. This was around 1975 or so... and I remember they were hellaciously baddass drivers.
These JBL's are even better than the altec's.
Anyone have the Thiele Small parameters for these bad boys?
Would Raven 1 ribbons be a good tweeter match with these in an MTM?
Regards,
David

They should make very lively, dynamic midranges - indeed!
