It's all magnet! I've seen those before in hi-fi speaker cabs, but never in a guitar amp.

I've read of people using them in champs and liking them
It sounds nice on guitar, like a D130 except..smaller
JBL lists them as being 8 inch versions of the D130

or here
http://www.hifilit.com/hifilit/JBL/1956-2.jpg (http://www.hifilit.com/hifilit/JBL/1956-2.jpg)
which lists them at 12 watts (though JBl used conservative and often changing power ratings )


some perspective with a D130

That might have been killer in my mini JCM 800 combo if it was a higher wattage.
