LE5-10 Mid Range Differences

[ssgreg@comcast.]

Other than appearance, is there any difference between the one's with flat dust caps as opposed to domed ones? Were they from different years?

are not 10 inch midbass. They are 4" midrange. Search LE5 matrix series.

I've never seen an LE5-10 with a "flat" dust cap, except those ones that have been flattened by their owners.

Both dust caps on my L110 mids are flat, bought them as store demos and always assumed they were made like that, never gave it a second thought. They sound fine, now I'm stumped.

The early L110's and L212's had concave paper dust caps, later to be replaced by the black aluminum dust caps we all know and love.

Thanks for the reply.

OK, is there a difference in performance?

OK, is there a difference in performance?The aluminum dome evidently had a different top end response and less break-up. I doubt most people would care...

There were two different versions of the L110 and three different versions of the L212.

I also have one with a black cone and several with brownish cones. Any significant diff there?

Not in a blind listening test! :D

Something that no one seems to have picked up on is the fact that all Le5-10's are the same are they not?

If they're not, that's news to me.
