... to be specific, Stale, which make excellent P.A. speakers, too! Brown Soun's crew treats this retired printer like rock royalty. They also reconed a pair of Utility Advents, which are still rockin' strong a decade later. Late owner John Harrison said he also had several requests for hemp-reconed Celestion V 30s, which were used for hi-fi applications. Recipients said they delivered the best mid-range their multi-kilo-buck gear ever replicated. Remember, Celestion's fabled Alnico Blue was originally designed for radio duty. As were several now classique Jensens. Lynn Olson once tested a 12" Tone Tubby Alnico driver in full range configuration, & found "... it sounds really good. Hemp does something you don't see in the exotic carbon-fiber, Kevlar, metals, or this-n-thatium exotics; it doesn't break up. No cone cry, no raspy breakup, no hashy grating sound at high frequencies or at high levels".

Hi i think that this is a very interesting topic
From the graph this very remarkable driver gives the opportunity to cover all the midrange with just a single driver, avoiding a need of x-over just in the middle.
But it is more a topic for the Speaker Asylum i think.
Thanks for the information.
Kind regards,

I prefer speakers that have other parts of the spectrum than midrange. If you enjoy it, good for you.

No prob! Hemp cones specialize in replicating serious bass too, complementing their killer midrange. MC-90s, which were originally badged G12H-80s back-in-da-daze, are Celestion's take on Electro Voice's seamless bass-to-midrange tonal transition. Even Jensen's new-generation 10" Jet Falcons have impressive bump-to-the-thump factor for their size!!!
As I said, if you enjoy them, good for you.
But don't try to convince anyone that high sensitivity pro guitar speaker can provide significant bass. Even the link you provided shows drop starting at about 300Hz. You may get some upper bass, but not bass. Do not even want to talk about the sound with practically nothing above 5kHz.
