Hi Guys!
A local guy is parting out a 90s theater speaker systems with the dual JBL 2226H woofer. Should a buyer be concerned about buying such speakers that have been run 12 hours a day for 20 years? Would parameters shift or degrade?
Thanks,
Scott

I have seen cones that were damaged from rock concert applications, but they can be replaced if necessary. Not cheaply of course!
I have JBL 15s from theater pull both where shot with a shotgun lots + lots of holes I patched them up and they give good serve in my brother giant swiss party barn in Wisconsin ya hey der. Stuff hard 2 kill.
Similarly I have a JBL 2226 that was used by a cat as a scratching post (before I bought it). The cone was pretty tough and only perforated in a couple spots. I sparingly glued up each spot and it seems to be fine.
Cinema designs are high value for low $ I use vintage theater gear in my Horn Theater system.
If I ever get divorced... THAT will be my system.
Get this system and your wife might divorce you...
Drivers get better with age, as the suspension softens and Fs keeps going lower. So long as the surrounds are OK and the magnets haven't weakened they should be fine.
That is very interesting. I did not know that.
Theater gear vintage or new is where the fun stuff is IMO.. Just look at the new Klipsch horn loaded sub. Or the theater JBL horns... Fun stuff.
High sensitivity, wide dynamic range, low distortion, and smooth frequency response. Pwk
