Considering LDS to make me a single 15 cab (no mid or high drivers) and was looking at drivers on US Speaker website. Between Beyma and B&C, does anyone who has used either have an opinion on them. Nothing against Eminence, was just considering other possibilities. Thanks.

They're no better than Eminence yet are much more expensive. In Italy and Spain it's the other way around.
Hard to beat the Eminence 3015HO. That LDS 31015HO cab is great if you like it warm and grindy and punchy.
B&C makes some great drivers also, and I've heard some very nice cabs LDS cabs with the very expensive B&C coax neo's in them... bright and modern sounding.
Don and I talked about the Beyma 15's, and they are nice, but seem to require a much bigger box than I'm interested in (at least the super duper ones that might be an improvement over the 3015HO's).
Here's a clip of an LDS 3015HO one way cab that I did a while back. Killer warmth, grind and punch to my ear.

The most articulate single 15" I've tried lately is the warehouse.

It's no featherweight, but has plenty of beef and some crispness.
Now I'm making myself hungry.

Sent you a response.
FYI, here is a picture of the cab in the clip. This one is 'old school' looking, with classic tolex and cloth grill. Don can do any color tolex you want... pretty cool. He also does a 'modern' look... spray on coating and a metal grill.
I believe this cab was about 35 pounds or so.
Can't remember exactly... not super deep though.. nice and small. It is TBer Ryan Mohr's. Don would have the measurements if you mention Ryan's name and remind him that it is the 15 cab that Ken loves
