I want to chime in, here, and agree entirely with the "how different ... depends" comment. My "45" is Jeff Korneff's. I've tried at least a dozen different "brands" of N.O.S. 45s -- although I've always questioned (read: been skeptical of) their ultimate manufacturer -- and I'm *very* hard pressed to be able to identify any real differences in sound quality of *any* sort between brands. (For that amp, incidentally, a change in rectifier tube will make *far* more of a difference in sound quality. Sorry, haven't rolled a whole lot of drivers.) The esteemed (and now retired?) Mr. Korneff even went so far as to tell me once that I probably wouldn't notice anything being awry with different brands of 45 in each channel! It's a circuit that is simply not "brand conscious." (That we all were! -- maybe there's a lesson there....)
