So, you think JBL has two different versions of the 2262H? Seems hard to believe.

i'm surprised no one has mentioned the weird high end thing. 'what weird high end thing, brian?' glad you asked.
i work with a small company in sterling, va and they bought 8 of these with the subs based largely on the package, which is, i'll grant, pretty sweet. stick speaker [love the dual pole mount], monitor, light, well built, etc.
but the first time i took them out i noticed this weird sound in the horn driver, kinda like a 'vibrating wax paper on a comb' thing, but much more subtle. and all the 712s had it. when i pointed it out to the company owner, he concurred. i tried eqing it out, but that just tore into the clarity of the box.
long story shorter, i used them a bunch of times after that, but it was never a pleasant experience. all i could hear was that weird sound character. drove me bananas.
i should say, this shop is almost exclusively a d&b shop, so i am used to hearing some pretty sweet speakers. still, this was a weirdness i never got over.
YMMV>
