"I guess what gets me is why break up a fine set of speakers? Why not use them as intended or at least put them back and reevaluate."

Because I'm not a gear head.

I'm not interested in owning a classic speaker just because it's a classic speaker. I want the best sound I can get and IMO using the JBL 15s the way I do gives me the best sound.

IMO a 15 woofer doesn't sound good playing higher than 100Hz but it's hard to find a really good midrange speaker that is both efficient and will play properly all the way down to 100Hz so I have to cross at 200Hz.

I need really efficient speakers for the midrange and highs because, for that range, I use single ended 300b amplifiers (not a lot of power) because I think they sound much better than push pull amplifiers but they don't have enough damping factor to play bass so I bi-amp with SS for the woofers.

I could put the 4331As back together and sell them and then buy some 2231s or 2235s and build woofer boxes but I'm lazy these days and I already have the (very well built) 4331 cabs.

It's not that I don't understand where you're coming from but if I hang on to the horns and crossovers my wife and daughter can sell the complete 4331As after I'm dead but life is too short to worry about breaking up "a fine set of speakers".

Thanks for your input.
