I need a replacement with similar character.
The target frequency range for operate is between 250 and 3000 Hz.
Follow currently available and maybe appropriate transducers I have found for replace the FANE Studio 8M:
Fane Sovereign 8-225

Eminence Alpha 8A

Eighteensound 8M400
http://www.eighteensound.it/Portals/0/PDFs/8M400.PDF
Are there better alternatives?
 
I have recently tested the B&C 8PE21 and i like it very much. My intended use of it is in a mid-bass horn, 150-700ish. It has a very nice tone as a direct radiator too, no wild cone resonaces.
Should be on the short list of candidates for a Fane replacement :)

They are very good, best prices too.
I have bought about 20 speakers of them and never had a problem.
good advice - thank you therefore. Maybe I start a new two-way sattelite speaker project for home audio application with this low-mid driver and either with the SICA tweeter
model "LP 90.28/ N92 TW" (Code Z009160) - go to
LP 90.28/ N92 TW
and

or the custom made "Glockenklang" tweeter
(for BassArt III, UnoRock, BlueSky and BlueSoul) - go to post #6 under
http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/mult...glockenklang-phenol-99db-based-rcf-tw116.html
and

Ideal for single ended power amplifier with low power output like ZEN and "Power Follower" from Andrea Ciuffoli.
Maybe with an active crossover network without additional operational amplifiers like second PDF file in post #1 under

Seems like the eighteensound is more powerfull , and has more pressure level? Would this one be an upgrade for your cab?
What other parameters are important to check (more than the thiele small parameters are close to your speaker needs)?
