Looks like the JBL K2.
From the picture here: https://en.pifferia.com/products/lals-classical-152-horn-speakers, the mid-range looks like a JBL 4250.

This is not a horn speaker. It is a hybrid speaker that includes a horn. OK, OK, I know I have made this point before, and I promise this will be the last time. I probably wouldn't volunteer to be the terminology police this time if I weren't a bit in my cups. I don't want to become a disdained outcast for failing to get with the program and call hybrid speakers horn speakers, but the difference is neither subtle nor unimportant. I can't believe you guys can't hear the difference between horn bass and direct radiator bass.

In my mind it is analogous to the situation which would exist if a recipe called for a goose, but since geese are large and unruly you decided to use a duck instead and just call it a goose. I promise that from now on I will call ducks geese to try to fit in on what is otherwise an excellent forum.

Will you call an amp a tube amp because it has tubes, or if it only uses tubes and does not have any solid state component ?

As it happens I owned a hybrid amp, a New York Audio Laboratory Moscode 600, for years. I always called it a hybrid amp.

Yes, a hybrid amp usually means one or more stages of a tube amp uses solid state for amplification. My amps use tubes in all stages, but they also use solid state rectification, regulation, and the tubes are controlled by transistor current sources and sinks. Does this make it a hybrid amp ?

Hi Ron
We now have distribution of LALS speakers in Europe, let me know if you want demonstration. We have the Classical 15 EX for demonstration now. Bonzo75 heard it here a few months ago, and we just played on them at the shows in Horten, Norway and Gothenburg.
Best Regards
Dan
