Best Speaker for Open Back 1x12 for MkV25

[drs]

What's a good speaker for an open back pine 1x12 cab I have. I have a ported 1x12 with an Emi EM12 which I really like but the Emi is an 18 lb speaker and the cab with speaker weighs 46 lbs. I want a lighter speaker, 8-10 lbs, that is neutral voiced. No mid-range spike or nasally tones. I have an Emi Private Jack in it now but it is too mid-rangy and nasal.

C90 is a good neutral speaker.

Only problem is that the C90 new here in Canada is a bit expensive and they don't come up often enough used. Any Eminence, WGS, Jensen, or standard Celestion equivalents? One poster in another forum recommended a Steamboat Hemp100 but I'm waiting to see if they ship to Canada.

Put a Weber CV124F in there. A better MC-90/CL-80 that works great in open back cabs/combos as well as the big sealed cabs. Full range, beautiful cleans, lots of mid-punch.
