I evaluated the Eminence Alpha 6, LA6-MB, LA6-MR, LA6-CBMR, Alpha 8 and Beta 8. Some I simply modeled, and found them too far out of line to be worth building a physical model to test. Some I decided would be worth building a prototype to measure, but ultimately found various things that prevented me from choosing any of those drivers. The problems I encountered were peaky response or too little lower midrange extension for my purpose. However, Adrian Mack used the Alpha 6 and was pleased with its performance. Response didn't go low enough for what I wanted to do, but his horn looked great to me and I expect it probably sounded good. Check out Adrian's posts in the links below:
