    Existance of a JBL 6.5" alnico-magnet driver? (115A or whatnot?)

    I was just checking around... trying to find out if JBL ever used an alnico-magnet 6.5" woofer. Would be GREAT for center-channel speakers...

    Anyone ever seen such a beast?

    Regards,
    Gordon.

    I think the smallest was the D208/2110.

    The only other readilly available alnico 8 I can think of would be the 116's in the L-19/4301 which were very nice sounding. Those 6.5s are real nice I have both the white version and the poly. They certainly would make a nice center speaker!

    What about the venerable LE-8T? I recognize it is more of a full range driver than a true woofer, but I think it would have potential as a center channel speaker.

    The 6" in the PC600 works great.
