Hi Bob, I have installed the SSN Collins 5"x7" speak in two MS-4s and a 312B-4 in my shack and I like the sound this speak puts out. It has a broader range than the Drake 5"x7" speaker and it sounds much fuller and richer too. It has a much heavier magnet and a tweeter cone as you can see in the online photo. The SSN speaker is not cheap, but I listen to the Drakes 2-3 hours a days and so I think the price is worth it for me. 73,
