hi everyone--been reading this site off and on for the past few years, thanks for all the great info and comments!
I finally registered today to ask your collective opinion on a recent find...went to see a guy about a guitar speaker, and ended up buying several speakers from him on a lark, since he seemed to take care of his stuff and it was a good deal for both of us.
one box had a 2215B in it that is a bit of a mystery...
in good condition, I played a little bass through it, a decent clear sound, but not as good as the 2206 I use for bass guitar. no problems noticed, no rub, etc. it looks like a recone. smooth cone with a surround like an instrument speaker, not foam. reads @5.3 ohms, not 16 as expected. back of cone has 2220 stamped in white ink.
my question is this--if this 2215B has been reconed @8 ohms with this 2220 cone, has it become a completely different speaker, with a different ideal usage? what exactly do I have here?
