Bassmen/women:
I just acquired a used VL110, a venerable classic I used to own two of, at the Nice Price.
I'd be interested to hear from the scientifically minded who know how to measure and the pragmatic cats who may have done before me, what would be a good replacement 10" woofer for this cab. No idea of its tuning but enough will know of this cab to make good recommendations. They called it a transmission line enclosure but I think it is more of a hybrid design.
Thanks in advance for your feedback!

Well, some years ago I had two of these excellent boxes and when I broke the woofer in one of them the replacement EA sent was not the same as the original and completely changed the character of the cab. So this one ain't broke but should I ever need to replace the woofer it would be good to have some options, as I'm sure you know this model is out of production.

ACB,
I don't think that you'll be able to replace it without going to EA. They had Eminence make customized versions of their speakers to work with the Transmission Line Cabinets. I have a VL 110 sitting in the basement. I believe mine is a revision B. They are very dark sounding boxes, nice though. I'm pretty sure that their was also a revision C and revision D, each cabinet had a slightly different speaker
