Where are you folks buying speakers from?

As the title says…

I’m looking for something a bit niche, in this instance. Specifically a 15 inch speaker, preferably at 4 ohm…

The Americans over on TGP have instantly started recommending the inevitable boutique American exotica, and although I might just bite for the right thing, I’d rather exhaust more local possibilities first.

Suggestions?

    I mean, I’ve bought quite a few speakers from Lean over probably ten years, so perhaps I should have asked a different question. Does anyone know of an in-stock, 15 inch, 4 ohm guitar speaker that handles the 85W power amp of the Vibrasonic (ie a Twin Reverb, give or take)?

    Different angle: do Lean order stuff in that they don’t have in stock?

    Eminence Legend CA154. It’s listed under bass speakers but it will be fine for guitar, especially in a brighter amp. Possibly better than as a bass speaker, to be honest...

    For reference, the Delta 12A is a great guitar speaker, despite being intended for bass and PA - much more so than the Legend series - I've put those in quite a few guitar amps. They sound really clean and powerful - I put a pair in a Fender Twin for a rehearsal studio once, knowing that the 400W (each!) rating would make them indestructible, but I was pleased by how good they sounded too.

    Yes, but you often have to wait as everything is ordered in bulk and is often sea-freight
