define low-maintenance...

You should be aware of a many-times-posted LE-5 matrix that should allow
you many options in replacing LE-5 types without affecting the design (looks,
perhaps). 104H varieties will also fit. Some older units have push terminals,
newer units have tab terminals.

I'd so a search on LE5 matrix if you have not already.

Thanks, I'll look at the matrix. I meant low maintenence referring to LE-5 size speakers that use the "rubber" surrounds.

I'm not sure I'd call rubber surrounded speakers lower maintenance than
the doped-paper surrounds, but OK. At least what you're looking for is
better defined. I'm not up on the model or p/n's for say 70x-series drivers,
so someone else might pipe up or ask more questions.
