Hi Mark,
What's the speaker in teh cab under the Fostex? Looks rather coaxial...
Which leads to: I have a couple of rather "interesting" design home brew speakers that were "adopted" from the Mont Vernon dump, er, recycling center. They have some rather weird internal baffling, and have some vintage Utah 12 inch "full range" - woofer with a paper whizzer cone - in them, and I am looking to upgrade to better 12 inch coaxial speaker for them. The Utahs have a rather dull high end response, and their bass isn't exactly inspiring, either.
Scenario 2 is to simply replace the Utahs with some vintage Altec 12 inchers that I have on hand, and use these as woofers with a mid/tweeter box on top.

... is either an Adire 10.1 or 12.1. That's the Eminence coaxial speaker; I don't recall for sure whether it's the standard Eminence compression tweeter, though. I actually don't recall hearing them. You can learn more from the AX review (link below). You'll note they had some polarity problems, though :-)

snappy tag line 1: sounds like a great driver!
snappy tag line 2: sounds like a Utah
(couldn't decide which to use, so I offer both...)
The Eminence coaxes might be worthy of attention. They're not terribly expensive, IIRC.

all the best,

  Hi Mark,
  Thanks, I was thinking they might be the Eminences, but wasn't sure.
  I wonder how the Eminence coaxials compare to the PAudio coaxials, which are listed on the commonsense audio website. They start at 8 inch and go up to either 15 or 18 inch diameter.
  
  BTW, 7408s are slightly souped-up 6V6GTs, I probably have a few in the tube stash.
