Got a possible lead on one of these at a very reasonable price.
Would it be suitable for installation in a Reno 400? I'm not unhappy with the stock Scorpion, but if it's going to be an upgrade in tone and a reduction in weight, that is attractive.

Picked it up. Brand spanking new. Cool seller too who happens to be the bass player for Heartfield, a well known Country band around here. Can't beat a great deal on a speaker and quality gear chat.
Will report back after installation.

Still haven't installed it, but I just found out it's not a Deltalite II, it's a first gen Deltalite No fault to the seller who didn't call it a 2.
Did find out that Evans used this speaker for a while.
Should be interesting.

The Deltalite is an 8 ohm speaker vs the stock 4 ohm. Maybe a 3db volume loss. The eminence is a more efficient speaker than the stock, so the volume loss may not be perceivable…YMMV. Ken Fox explained this better in a forum post a few years ago.

Years ago, i think it was Tom Bradshaw that sent me one of these Eminence 15" Deltalite's to try out. As I recall, i thought they sounded pretty good. If i'm not mistaken Mr Bradshaw was going to use these in his Webb amps. Been a few years ago, but i thought it was the Eminence 15" Deltalite. This is actually a sound reinforcement speaker, but voiced pretty well, it should work swell.  |

Thanks for the info folks.
Dustin,
Yep, the minor decible drop won't be an issue for me. This is not an amp I'll be pushing to full volume at a gig.
George,
Thanks for the Info. Glad to know it should sound good.
