Has anyone had ASW recone an "M" style speaker?

Celestion Greenback, Weber, Eminence....any Med. weight magnet speaker?
I think the re-cones constitute replacing everything (cone, voicecoil, etc.) except the frame and magnet.

Has anyone had this done, any tone reports or clips?

I had them "re tone" a Vintage 30 to KTS-70 specs and it sounds excellent!!

I had ASW do a vintage Celestion G1265 that blew with a KTS-60 cone.
Came back sounding way better.

Sean,

Is there any difference in the 60/70 besides the cone itself? Are the voicecoils the same? Does one have the large dust cap (I heard the 60)?
What made you decide to go with the lower Hz cone with the med. magnet?

And how does it compare tonally to the original? Lowend, Highend, clarity, mids & texture?

Thanks

The cone is different. None of the two speakers have the large dustcap.

My G1265 was re-conned as a 60 with a large dust cap.It came back with fuller lows that didn't flub out,more natural sounding mids instead of being honky and more clarity and sparkle.Better all the way around.Right out of the box.
My two KTS-70' have small dust cap covers and H magnets and are my personal fav speaker.
I have a feeling you're gonna dig the 70 you have incoming.

Still looking to get a damaged M speaker that I have re-toned.
Any recommendatons on whether to go with the 70 or 60 cone? I liked the KTS 70 but ended up returning it in favor of the Scumback M75.
Haven't tried the KTS 60. Very curious about this M though.

I contacted ASW about a re-cone recently - the guy that does them is pretty busy, so expect to wait. Not even sure the are accepting new re-cones at this time
