What if it were a GOLD-PLATINUM-SILVER-CUBIC-ZIRCONIUM-PLATED horn???
.....that selenium thing is just a advertising talking point. Might help slightly with creating a unique resonance/tone, but isn't going to do much else.

| Post subject: | JRX125 with Selenium D220Ti-8 Horns. |
Is the JRX125 with Selenium D220Ti-8 Horns be good for Karaoke? I'd tried out the s115v and it sounds ok. I am wondering if the JRX125 with Selenium D220Ti-8 Horns would be better? Has anyone tried the JRX125 with the upgrade horns for Karaoke? There are a lot of good reviews on the horns. I am a little skeptical if it'll work for Karaoke. Anyone out there knows better? The parts are sold here. http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdet ... er=264-270 |

You may want to consider better speakers like Carvin, EV, QSC, Yorkville, RCF and a few others. JBL JRX are the bottom of the barrel and trying to make them sound better by putting in a different horn may help a little, but getting better speakers from the beginning is a better way to go. Most people who have used or owned them consider the Yamaha S115V to be a very capable and good sounding speaker. I consider it to be one of the best entry level speakers out there. I would be using them myself if they didn't weigh 62 pounds each. If you're looking to save money and still have good sound, go to the the Carvin website and look at their LM series. They are light, inexpensive and good. Overall, much better than the entry level and crappy JBL JRX line. If you don't care about weight that much look at the Carvin LS series. Carvin also has some very reasonable subwoofers, 15" and 18". |

The JBL is basically an entry level speaker. Not a great sounding speaker - kind of 'boxy' and not a lot of low end on its own. |

Changing the compression driver will not fix the badly designed horn, the physical plastic part. I realize this is a popular upgrade, but it's not really a sensible one. Buy a better speaker. :-/ |

Husky, I find that the best way to research the HF driver inm any speaker is to google JUST the replacement driver. For example, google the D220Ti-8 HF driver, and you'll find that it is a $41.00 driver that is used in JBLs "budget" line of speakers. If you want to find a speaker with GOOD value in a HF driver, then do a little research and find plenty of mid-range (price wise) speakers that company's like EV, Peavey, JBL, QSC, EAW, etc. will put out that have the same HF compression drivers as their high-end stuff. GOOD HF compression drivers will run from $75-150 just by themselves. |
