Bruce	Re: 5E3 + ts808 + 4X12 = ?... Based on my experience with Eminence's custom sales dept., the speakers built for MOJO and others are the stock BR series speakers (or which ever model group you choose) and are very nearly the same speaker with teeny tweaks. What they do, to be able to sell you a proprietary speaker, is send you 10 speakers from that family group with VERY minor changes to one of the following: coloring, voice coil, magnet, glue, doping, paper or paper ribbing...(etc.), and you pick one of the 10 that sounds like the one you want with your own custom label. Then you commit to accepting a small production run in the year to be delivered in a schedule per month or so. So everyone's custom Eminence speaker, of the same family, probably is the same speaker except for extremly small changes that are hard to define. Bruce
