    Default Helllp.... What speaker is right as replacement for Wharfedale EVP-X15

    Hi there All,
    I have a pair of EVP-X15 speakers and the one 15" speaker has gone (makes a raspy sound on bass) so need to replace but not sure what to replace it with - can anyone point me toward a speaker that would be sufficient.

    Here are the specs
    Key Features
    300W RMS / 600W Program / 1200W Peak
    45Hz -20kHz frequency response
    129dB Max SPL
    High Power, arrayable trapezoidal cabinets
    90 x 60 Elliptical Wave Guide Horn with 1.75" (44mm) titanium diaphragm driver
    ProTech™ Driver
    +3dB HF Frequency boost switch (speakers)

    Many thanks

    So are you looking to replace one or both speakers?

    It would also help to have an idea of typical use (So, for example, weddings for 150 guests, or 18th birthday parties etc.).

    And an idea of budget would also help.

    It would be of greater use if you took a screwdriver to it, and found the makers part numbers on the back. A quick look on Blue Aran will reveal many drivers fitting those specs at prices ranging from not a lot to large amounts, but whether any of those will perform anything like the original, well that's complete guesswork.

    I saw that, but having a different speaker would really play with my OCD on symmetry.

    Mine too, but I suspect the lad means just the driver inside, not the box outside. As I said, that's why we need the model number.
    A quick Google for the animal required hasn't proved fruitful.

    If you want a faithful, identical woofer to replace the faulty one - which believe me is the best route to take... Better speak to a Yamaha representative.
