Another 8" speaker alternative to the 55-2421

[mpm17]

A parts-express.com offering in the GRS line. Specs look real close, almost twins separated at birth. Fs is a little bit lower than the MCM(Newark) 55-2421. More xMax available and a rubber surround. They cost a little bit more but not much. Free shipping at $100 and a 12% discount till 10/12/2023 midnight. They are a little deeper at 4.6" mounting depth.

Would the smarter people take a look at these speakers and critique them? Are they a good alternative to the OG 8" at only $12 more.

I already have two of these sitting on the shelf so my curiosity was peaked.

In the T18 it doesn't work as well as the MCM, the Fs is too low. In the Table Tuba it's more or less equivalent to the MCM in response, has a bit more max SPL from the longer xmax.
