~3" Full Rangers, what do you recommend?

I'm looking for input and recommendations on small dia. full range drivers. Let's assume you want it to cover from a 200-300hz and above.

Tang Band has a ton of them, Fountek has a few, Dayton, Fostex, Vifa and Mark Audio also. What have you tried and what do you prefer?

I'm using the SS10F, although only between 1 and 6kHz, and it sound wonderful, very natural. :P

The back cover ad on the new P.E. catalog is a Celestion ad for its new small drivers: "Seems like all of a sudden, compact arrays are big business. So talk to Celestion about our range of high performance, small-format drivers."
It seems these are the topic:

I don't see it giving up much, if anything, to the similar Scan and Seas drivers (that cost 3 times as much).

Not sure of your application but I have Mark Audio Alpair 7.3 and 6Ps both doing duty in my office full range. The 7.3's in particular are extraordinary in the amount of detail they retrieve comparing more than favorably against my stalwart Olson Ariels. They sound louder than their sensitivity would imply, thanks to a degree of built in BSC. The 6Ps are softer in the HF and a bit less neutral than the 7.3's.
