PowerHouse custom speaker vs. PowerHouse traditional speaker

I haven't followed their gear closely, but think the differences are only cosmetic ones. Someone here must know for sure.
I guess I'm wrong. I went to Mesa's site and saw what you're talking about. If the two other lines had neo speakers, the distinction would make sense. But I'm fairly sure they don't.
An email to Mesa support would be an idea to pursue.

Only 12" are neo.
I guess that traditional are simply tuned more... "traditional"Less hi-fi and more mids...
That's what I was kinda thinking too
Here is what Mesa said in an email reply:
The Standard/Vintage Powerhouse speakers have a higher sensitivity, with*greater excursion*of the cone. They have more mid-range, and are more sensitive to players touch and dynamics. The Traditional Powerhouse speakers are closer to the Ampeg style speaker, which is not as sensitive so it can take more of a pounding from the players technique, etc. They have more of a vintage EQ range - and are a very balanced speaker.
*
Replacement speakers can be bought online or over the phone - or through your nearest dealer.

Please let me know if you've got any questions or need assistance in any way. Thanks!
