Wow! Super big too. ;D I wonder how it sound. Anyone own it?

I found it ironic sometimes. People use fullranger, then add supertweeter, then possibly a subwoofer to complement.  8)

yah, it make it look ugly actually, if using full range already why still want to add this add that? must as well dun use full range?

 

just found out the frequency range of JB4 is around 50Hz to 18Khz only nia......but quite good compare to most of the mini-combo or entry level all-in-1 consumer level kind of "hifi" right?

*shhh* its not OK to get two/three ways but its OK to tweak

[imbest]

Compression drivers also can add supertweeter.

The main thing is so as to avoid any crossovering in the most sensitive region of our ears. It is usually more accurately known as a wide range driver.

then what's the point??? isn't it "drawing legs for the snake?"

lol.... actually life is simple, but we like to complicate things,  ;D

[imbest]

wah sianz lah, now I dunno if I shall still go for JB4 already.....arghhh....

hmm well theoretically most speaker hits about 20khz but dunno how flat is the response. :)

whether we can actually even hear above that, i dunno, but some believe that it adds further dimension to the music.. thats why some speakers go much higher, like the jmlab utopias which go to 40khz.

 

realistically for most ppl, i think just having a great sounding mid range is most impt.

It's ok, don't go for the fullrange type of sound if you would like 20Hz bass and sparkling hifi type of treble, everyone's appreciation are different.  :)  Similarly you would see a 2k CDP as very expensive, others view it as really affordable.
