I have a pair of fullrange drivers that have the name Cleveland on them. They have a made in France sticker and they sound "French" like Supravox sound french.
There are a few photos coming, what i'd like to know is whether anyone else has heard of them. If you have are they early PHY prototypes as i was told by an 'expert'
The cone is paper and has an exponential profile, the sound is fabulous and they make pretty decent bass.
Some details;
Frame Dia is 237 mm cast Aluminium
Cone radiating Dia 166 mm
Voice coil approx 40 mm
And a decent sized Alnico magnet

I love Aussies... always humor and a beya before anything. Worked with many, never been there, ON my list!

Thanks, Poobah.
Most of us are pretty laid back ( couldn't give a rats **** )
When you come over we'll shout you a barbie an a fishin trip.
Up here we have some rather good game fishing and great islands for camping.
Just don't ask for Fosters, that muck is for export to non discerning foreigners.

ex,
I don't do Foster's, relax.
I have an old friend from Oz that used to work with/for me, in a way. He would give his shirt, wallet, car, maybe a wife, to a friend. He would break your face, if you brought it round dirty...
Cheers mate!
NO more jokes!

No ex... NOT a clue.
Wish I could help... there are at least 4 French, on the forum, that I can think of.
Someone will reply... they are all asleep right now... as they should be.

Looks like a Supravox to me, aside from the colour of the magnet cover. In fact, looking at the cone, the surround and that big frame (cast iron or similar, right?) I'm almost certain it is.
It looks like a Vega Omniex 21 ... an extremly rare 8' french single cone fullranger. If I'm not wrong it should be 94dB efficiency, a really wide range and great sound.
If I know more I will reply soon.

Lagroute, Scottmoose, mucho thanks. The driver has high sensitivity i measured at 93dB and an fs of 29 Hz. the top end goes out to above 15k, about as high as i can hear.
As i stated previously the sound is sublime even with the dodgy vinyl surrounds.
Is it possible that the vinyl surround is genuine 😱

OMNIEX 21 24cm*8Ohm*25Watt*SPL94dB*Fres30-18kHz*1300Gauß*1,3Tesla
these surrounds are genuine.
These fullrange are highly regarded, I think a good pair is rare is around 150-200 euros on ebay France

Lagroute,
Thank you very much for your help. Now that they are identified i need to work out what to do with them.
Do you know of any cabinet designs for them ?
After googling i have found a page in italy that shows these old drivers as made by Vega. As far as i can decipher it they date from 1963.
Any help at all would be most appreciated.
