They look like very good parts. In particular, I looked at the Beyma 15LX60, and it is comparable to the Eminence Omega 15 or JBL 2226. I think they might be worth a try.

In regards to sound quality, I think the Beyma 15LX60 might be a good upgrade for an Eminence Omega 15, but I don't expect it to sound as good as a JBL 2226. Notice the distortion chart, 2nd and 3rd harmonic content averaged about 50dB less than the fundamental at one watt. Compare this with a JBL 2226. Distortion doesn't rise to this level until 60 times this much power is applied. So the JBL 2226 is better in terms of non-linear distortion.
