Interesting selection of used speakers (not just Celestion).

For Europeans, I've not tried them, but these look interesting:

Thanks for the suggestions
Unless I can find a used EV12L or Force, I may go new Cannabis Rex.
What about a JBL K120? It seems most guys feel that D120s are all either recones or worn out.
Or a used Emi Commonwealth?
-
wow, the cannibas rex seems to be such a different speaker in almost every way from a 12L or Force 12. What made you decide on that. Put a want-ad up on the gear page. You'll find a used one pretty quickly.
Or this emi:

Generally speaking, the flatter the graph, the more neutral a speaker will sound, all other things being equal. Evs, JBLs, Altecs, Gauss speakers all come from the golden age of speaker making ( that might be controversial..) when they were all trying for a flat response and high power handling.
A lot of jazz amps use eminence beta speakers, and are thought of as neutral-sounding and dark. But if you look at the graph of the beta 10, a very widely used speaker, you'll see a big midrange dip at around 1k, from memory. It's hardly a 'flat' sounding speaker at all. A really neutral sounding speaker such as an EV sounds very different - but is much more expensive.

have a feeling someone, maybe JZ, has commented above specifically on the delta 10. Can't scroll up, I'm typing...

ideally 5k, altho can still use other speakers if one can boost though amp around 4/5 k. Sadly most amp tone controls won't allow that, tho a graphic eq will.
