The Vox AC1A just arrived, tested in test cabinet, 
Hard to say, But i think  will list the pair on Ebay and stay with my DavidLouis 4 incher wide(does not list this 4 any longer, has another a  5 incher = does not look as good as his 4 = not same sound) band at the moment, 
My 2 cents
The cone material is super thin paper, it just seemed to my ears, ina  short test, to lack body, the bass just was not there, Sound too thin, Female vocals, not accurate. 
I did not find 1 thing I liked about the speaker, I can also assume the AER also suffers these very same issues. 
Whereas the DavidLouis 4 incher at $175 a  pair, had body, some slam, female voice very clear, clean, accurate. 
Goes to show you do not have to spend alot of money to get good sound.
The DL 4 inch has some stress, some distortion, but very livable, acceptable, doable.
The Vox  just had nothing to offer vs the superior davidLouis 4 inch wide band. Now I will sell the Vox and buy the davidLouis 6.5 for $400, Maybe i get even better sound out the 6.5 vs the 4 incher.
My guess is the wood cones of the Vox  offer better bass, maybe better voice, better dynamics. 
This may be true.
I am just not willing to spend $2k++ for a  speaker that does not perform much better than a  DavidLouis $400 speaker. 
Lets say the Vox/AER comes out 5% better sound.. 
OK, but at 6-10x's the price??
= Not worth it. These days its all about economics. 
= Best bang for the worthless buck. 

I did not like Lii wide band, has that   cheap plastic!!!! phase plug.  Sounds soooo chinese.
My guess is the new Lii fast 8 or 10 will have the very same issues I heard in the Fast8.
The low mid register was HIGHLY colored = Distortion. = Real ugly, 
This is the truth.
My impressio0ns of the Vox ina  basic cabinet were not good either. Although I was prasing that speaker to the highest heavens, seems I was completely totally wong on that speaker.
There was nothing I liked about the Vox. 
nada. 
Thats as far as i will go, others might love the Vox/AER wide bands. 
And thats their opinion, 
Right now the DavidLouis 4 incher is the best wide band on the market.
I will order his 6.5 as soon as the cash settles for the Vox 
Took a  600_ hit on the Vox,. But I am waiting for the buyer to answer my Q before ZI ship, Does he havea  SET,, Because the Vox did not sound good on my PP amp, 
I ahte to ship, and he finds the same issues I have , then he wants to return, Then its all messed up.
Before  order the Davidlouis 6.5, Which IMHO is the finest sounding midrange on the market,,But i could be wrong. 
The 4 incher is good, I am hoping his 6.5  is better. 
If there are issues, then i will dump the DL6.5 and buy a Seas Midrange Nextel Hexydn Neo 5 incher.

We can try that. 

We have to find something at least superior to the DL 4 incher.
