Rogers LS3/6 and Leak Stereo 70 combination

I'm thinking of trying Richard Allan HP8B in the LS3/6, massive magnets.

Also considering the bass driver from LS7, massive magnet again, but a Polypropylene cone.

If those pictures are of the same unit, it looks more like bextrene because of the hand painted coating which poly did not need.

I'm also surprised at the apparent quality of a Richard Allen unit being so good.

Yes, the Richard Allan is Bextrene. Richard Allan made some very nice units. Rogers used them in some of their earlier speakers.

The Polypropylene unit I was referring to was the Rogers LS7 unit.

Just received the Richard Allan HP8B 8" bass units from a friend. 1.3 Tesla magnet, Bextrene cone.
