The SR4726A and the SR4726X are identical but for the woofer impedance and the crossover circuit though xover point is the same. What do they do differently why did they make the "X" version?
I am not sure but I have been under the impression that the model "X" came after the model "A". The two models are so very much alike aside from one using a 4 ohm woofer and the other an 8 ohm woofer. I am curious to know what was the rational which necessitated designing the model "X". The two models share seeming identical performance characteristics. I have not listened to the "X version so I cannot say if one sounds better than the other or not. I am hoping someone with JBL knowledge can enlighten me as to the reason two such similar products exist. I need to know if the model "X" came second or first, if I were to make an assumption it woould be that a later version would be done to realize some design improvement of at least result a significant decrease in cost. I don't see any significant different in cost so I would guess that the later version sounds better or is more reliable.
I would think a later design was to satisfy a market rather than some esoteric technical spec.
Only difference is nominal impedance? How about that right there? I recall my dad buying a car. He chose a Chevrolet model, but had to decide if he wanted a two-door one or a four-door one. Otherwise the same. Maybe some buyers prefer one impedance over another, to suit their amps better, or to facilitate multiple speakers on one amp.

Hello Enzo thanks for your reply. Yes it could be as simple as that plus the fact that they placed a grill ober the horn for improved esthetics.
I have a set of 4732A's and know the 4732x has a few differences:
1. Different finish
2. Cabinet updated
3. Full grill
4. Different crossover (not sure if it's electronically different, could just be the i/o plate)
Similar situation for the 4726 maybe?

seems that JBL wanted to market an 8 ohm version with a more dressed up look. I had a response on a different forum from a member who provided an overlap of the tweeter response of all three listed models, the 4726A the 4726X and the 4726FX as well as a much later model using a 2226 and a 2447. Overall the 4726A was about as good (smooth and extended horn wise) as this pro model seems to get. An L-Pad was suggested to make top end response for this rather hot speaker adjustable in a domestic setting. It was also pointed out that sliding off axis by 10 degrees with this horn would roll off the horns top end peak which is well worth a try to see if that helps and it will cost nothing but the time to try. Thank you for your response.
