Sadly it looks like Monacor have withdrawn the SPH-135C. They no longer list it on their site and many sources now no longer list it or show it as unavailable.
It is (was!) a carbon fibre coned 5.25” with very good excursion that I used in very small cabinets as bass drivers with lots of EQ. They produce an astonishing amount of bass for their small size.
I was thinking of using them in my next build as a midrange driver.
The most similar driver in terms of size, shape and spec seems to be the SPH-135KEP and is more expensive and visually very different with a bright yellow Kevlar cone and black phase plug rather than the carbon fibre.
TLHP still list it as unavailable https://en.toutlehautparleur.com/speaker-monacor-sph-135c-8-ohm-5-24-x-5-24-inch.html
I’ll have to very careful not to blow them up!
I’m sorry to see them go NLA. They have given me great listening pleasure and hopefully will continue to do so for many years.
The smaller SPH-100C has also gone although I never used that one.
