JBL 2226H + Beyma 8CX300Fe = High SPL Full Range?

[audiothings]

Continuing with my quest for a high SPL studio monitor -

I am wondering what the problems will be with this combination:

JBL 2226H + Beyma 8Cx300Fe

My WinISD simulations show continuous SPL of 113 dB with -3dB point @ ~30Hz (mounted in 2p/half space conditions).

Excursion doesn't seem to be a problem...

And if I am reading this correctly, max power required by the 2226H is <250W..., so I can get by with a Hypex Fa253 handling amplification, crossover and DSP duties...

What are the potential problems with this arrangement?

Your hearing loss after two years? 😱)

A low compromise setup if you get your crossover right and room under control.

I have a neo 8cx300 in a EQed closed box for close-field listening. It is very nice with good imaging, although too weak in the bass for my taste (even at close distances) which is why I will use it with a 12" or 15" underneath one fine day. Then it will definitely have enough bass even at longer distances.

I would say if you get the crossover right this has the potential for very good monitor.
