Hi, I’m wondering if anybody has experience with both the B&C ME75 and the JBL 2380A
What I really want is a nice, non-cracked pair of 2380A to replace the cracked one in my system that I could possibly repair myself, but nobody within a few hours drive will sell me one or a pair for a reasonable price.
This has me looking at the all-aluminum alternative from B&C (a decent mfg from what I can gather) the ME75… they look very similar visually and dimensionally, however the ME75 has a wider throat opening and the curves are sharper, which makes me think the response would be more peaky, and directivity more beamy.
I will be using this horn between 700 ~ 8Khz with a 2445J driver with a radian diaphragm in a 3-way system crossing over into a Beyma CP25 or JBL 2405. I’m not so worried if the slope of the response is different since that’s something I can easily compensate for, but not peaks/internal resonances. but if it’s beamy around 8k, that’ll be a problem 🙁 Especially since i’m very content with the way the 2380A sounds in my setup
