Pete, DavidLD hasn't posted here in quite a while. Am looking forward to seeing what his latest research has created! ... As for contemporary instrument drivers, Pete, Eminence in Kentucky is becoming the pre-eminent speaker of choice. Celestion is experiencing a back-lash for the quality of their Chinese-constructed drivers(only the cab-mounted V30s, which Mesa-Boogie carries, & their Century series speakers are still built in Celestion's Ipswich factory); & Electro Voice doesn't currently provide instrument speakers. Like one of Skip's Music's techs told me last year, the two best speaker companies currently are J.B.L.("expensive, but worth it") & Eminence("they can make a speaker for damn near any tone you desire"). He even theorized that Eminence's Legend Modeling 12 is probably the best instrument speaker for hi-fi duty. "It's made for replacing the stock speakers in those modeling amps(amps which digitally replicate classic Boogie, Fender, Marshall, & Vox tones, amongst others), which Eminence probably built anyway. It's alnico, & it's around $70 bucks or so. Covers the same frequency spectrum as EVs, too".
