Speaker Advice..

Hello fine people.

Im looking for a 100w 6.5" non-woven carbon fiber driver with a frequency range equal to or better than 38hz - 23.5 khz (-10db point)

Anyone know any decent places I could look?

Why would you possibly want a speaker to go several kHz above what you can hear? To scare dogs?

Most speakers will have a frequency range similar to that you are looking for... it depends what characteristic you are after. LF or HF... you can't have both.

It's for an alesis studio monitor. That is the current spec so want to keep it the same.

It's to do with harmonics. Many years ago a well known manufacturer [Celestion] brought out a Hi-fi loudspeaker range in which one [Ditton 15] or two of the cheaper models were of two unit design. The single tweeter was a very high quality unit [HF1300] which went upto 15,000 KHz. Normally, in more expensive models, it was partnered with a tweeter [HF2000] that went even further up the scale. The speaker was quite a popular model for a short while until people realised how unrealistic the top end was in comparison to other manufacturers models. And it was purely because the HF1300 tweeter did not have an extended response, and was never designed to.

In everyday terms, the extended response above say... 20,000 KHz, fleshes out the sound and allows it to be more complete. We may not exactly be able to hear it, but we can perceive it in harmonics. Course, the speaker unit might be crap, so you wouldn't want to hear it anyway, but that's another story.

EDIT: BTW, why don't you just get the exact same replacement..? That is, write to Alesis, or whoever is the parent company.

Job done. We'll file this one away in the Techy forum then.
