  the best thing is that the tweeter is the 2414h version and not the 2414h-1, it has a better neodymium magnet, you will see <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDednnQigsM&amp;t=422">7:02</a> you can see separate plates

  I love speaker teardown videos and you have the best ones! I tore down one of my JBL 620 speakers and found mostly the same things:<br> Drivers appear to have the same magnet at ~ 4&quot; diameter with the 5.25&quot; woofer weighing 3 Lbs 9.9 Oz and having a resonant frequency of 56Hz.<br> The crossovers are similar with the 620 having one less iron core inductor, one less electrolytic cap and two fewer resistors.<br> Port tuning on the 620&apos; came in 1 Hz higher @ 44 Hz. The component differences could explain the shape of the impedance curve I got. Instead of a steadily rising line in the tweeter&apos;s band, the 620 had what I&apos;d call two rising peaks; a smaller one at 1.2Khz and a bigger one at 8Khz with the dip between them at 2 Khz. I&apos;m wondering what effect this has on the sound.<br> I had previously commented that I was skeptical component upgrades would have meaningful improvement on sound quality but after seeing all the modification you&apos;re working on, I&apos;m not so sure! Can&apos;t wait to see what you find!

  Love the channel. I bought these a couple days after you did. The next day the sale price was gone. I can&apos;t imagine a better speaker for $349.00. At $700 the competition stiffens up. BTW I listened to a lot of YouTube speaker reviews and just couldn&apos;t take it any more, so I asked Chat GPT to write a speaker review using words to describe a fine wine. This is what I got - <br>Indulge in a sensory symphony as you explore the rich tones of the AcoustiVine™ Chenin Blanc speakers. Like a fine wine swirling in a crystal glass, these speakers offer a bouquet of harmonious notes that dance upon the palate of your ears. <br>Upon first sip, or rather, listen, you&apos;re greeted by a crisp clarity that sparkles like a freshly opened bottle of champagne. The highs flutter delicately like the effervescence of bubbles, teasing your senses with their airy elegance. <br>As you delve deeper, the midrange unfolds like a velvety merlot, smooth and full-bodied, wrapping you in warmth and comfort. Each note resonates with the depth of a well-aged Chenin Blanc, leaving a lingering impression that tantalizes the soul. <br>And just when you think you&apos;ve experienced it all, the bass sweeps in like a bold syrah, commanding attention with its robust presence. It pulses through the room, filling every corner with its deep, resonant tones, inviting you to lose yourself in its intoxicating embrace. <br>With the AcoustiVine™ Chenin Blanc speakers, every listening experience becomes a journey of discovery, a sensory exploration akin to savoring a fine vintage. So pour yourself a glass of your favorite audio and let the symphony unfold before you. Cheers to the perfect pairing of sound and sensation. <br><br>I&apos;m looking forward to the crossover build.

  As a Jbl fan I quite like these. Nothing is perfect. I am surprised about the 12 and 13 percent measurement differences. Years back I think they were much more meticulous about driver quality. I run more vintage jbls including the L112 and L100 centuries. And pro drivers like 2226h for reinforce ment of my altec 604 8H Urei monitors. The horn in your 630 looks great. Having a small woofer keep up with it would be a crossover challenge which I&apos;m sure Jbl address. I&apos;m not an engineer just a long term audiophile. Many are snobby about Jbl still. When you use amps like Accuphase and Luxnan and better Rotel they shine. Although efficient Jbls like current and watts. Your high end parts will bring suitable improvement. A mate of mine who is a professional tech upgrades all sorts of speakers and the components make big differences.

  Thanks! Had I not seen this video I may have bought them - but the mid woofer disparity is a shame.
