i have one aftermarket 16 ohm and one genuine 16 ohm in the 2441s in my modular pa, i'm not sure who it's made by though. radian make some extremely varied stuff and to be honest i'd not had encouraging reports about their jbl pattern parts. oddly enough, they do a 1.4" with a mylar surround which i absolutely love to bits and own four of, but maybe they were a lucky one?
so yeah, i already have another genuine 8 ohm in a random 2445, if i get a pair to that and put them in the modular pa then i can use the genuine 16 in a one-off super-offensive dj monitor project. i have a 6 ohm phl 15" and i thought the difference in impedance will help me tame the response of the top end to meet the bass with less severe padding on the comp. cunning eh? this means i only need to buy one to keep things paired, i'd really rather have two genuines than one proper job and one good copy because even if the radians are good, they won't sound identical and will mess up my stereo imaging.
i know you're a modular man, but you have the gauss comps don't you?
oh yeah, and if you love modular, check out f2. similar sound only more refined mid and top, the boxes fit in your van sensibly and it goes louder too. only gripe is i miss the 90 degree horizontal dispersion of the phili/bi-radial combo and can't afford more f2 tops to equal it... that and f2 is stupidly heavy, but it isn't like, opus heavy...
