replacement parts or replacement woofer for ElectroVoice 15W, 16 ohm made in 1958
Note: these are NOT foam surrounds
I've written many suppliers today:
Have you tried Ebay. They currently have two hundred parts/speakers listed for Electrovoice, a few of them as vintage as yours, and the 16 ohm variety. Of course most of them, but not all, are used parts, but better than nothing at all. I searched Ebay under "ElectroVoice 15W, 16 ohm made in 1958". Maybe you'll get lucky>

"If I use those kits, I would need to knock down the efficiency of my horn mid and horn tweeters to match the lower output of the woofer."I think" more than my L-Pads' minimum." Perhaps research the "I think" further - including looking into updated L-Pads? Also, what is the "lower output" measurement that you mention? Realize that I sound like XXXXX, but just trying to help.

I just read more about flat vs round wire and wish I knew about this in the 60's when I was rebuilding/rewinding slot car motors for competition endouros. Being low on funds I rewound blown motors gifted to me by other enthusiasts with the gold standard being a round/cylindrical motor by Globe. Anyway, how much do you figure you lose with the round wire?

Not sure, Al at speaker.com said, the specs then and now are so different, it's possible this suggested alternate driver, 97db 1w/1m with neodymium magnet type would be a bit louder, we would simply have to try it. I doubt it, my horns are very efficient, but Tweeter T350 specs are EIA Sensitivity Rating 60db https://faitalpro.com/en/products/LF_Loudspeakers/product_details/index.php?id=151060151 I might have to ease the mounting holes in the new larger frame a bit closer by .14" to use my existing T-Nuts in the front panel that is covered with white linen, wrapped, stapled, not easy to put new ones in. Meanwhile, the new woofer is breaking in, not so much louder than the right side as it was the 1st day, so I will break it in some more (integral surround, several v shaped folds in the cone's paper, not separate, not foam |
I put these 16 ohm L-Pads in just a few years ago https://www.parts-express.com/L-Pad-100W-Mono-3-8-Shaft-16-Ohm-260-261?quantity=1
