At work we got in a set of speakers, and i can't for the life of me remember the name brand...it starts with a "W" and these speakers are made in England.  I remember on the back that the company has been in business since 1932.   The speaker designation is "Delta 90".  10 in. sub with a pair of tweeters, 1 in. voice box, and Polyeurethane cones.  I am wondering if anyone can help me remember the name, and then once done, i am wondering if any of you have had any dealings with this company.  I think that the Poly cones would go well with my Infinity 60's, which are also poly coned.

Searching on the internet has turned up nothing, and i am really thinking about calling work tomorrow or saturday and telling them to hold the speakers for me.  But as i have never heard of the company before, i thought i would ask for your input.

Thanks Vyper, now i know that it isn't poly like my Inifinities, but is in all actuality Kevlar.  Anyone ever deal with these, and can you tell me how they hold up to abuse....by abuse i mean really loud music in the rec room while playing pool or throwing darts.  Crunching rock, none of that rap crap....

[Bobboau]

well kevlar is what they make bullet proof vests out of so I would imagine... they'd be prety fragile... yeah...

smartass.

Bulletproof speakers, hmm...


...can't think of a practical use for 'em.

I'm not worried about the kevlar itself, i am wondering about the rubber that holds it to the stamped framework....but thanks for your input anyway Bob.

They're good for attaching to a stereo and using to listen to music, I've found.

Anyway.... I'd imagine they'd be fairly robust, but bear in mind these are speciality speakers by a fairly special company - they're finely crafted bits of equipment.

Thanks for the help on finding out about the company, here they are.

Hey look, lib's not a monkey anymore.....

They left me hanging for a couple of days.  I still haven't got a reply to the PMs I sent, but since I can post I will assumed that they were received.
