   The DLS 601 is the replacement driver for a WS2 cab according to LMC, this is obviously an oem driver made by RCF. What if anything is the nearest replacement or alternative? It seems the 601 is now discontinued and even if it wasnt i couldnt justify buying 12 new drivers at those prices id be just as well buying complete new cabs from them!

	Looks like the updated WS2A used B&C's... It's a fairly basic 15" reflex cab, picking the closest off-the-shelf driver shouldn't be too tricky if you're not bothered about them being original spec.

	Yeah i've just read that they updated them to B&C. Was also thinking Kappa LF's may work? The cabs are copies anyway so I'm not that bothered about keeping the drivers original.

	Kappa15LF's will work but aren't the best by a long way. Depends how much you care. Check the cut-outs and see if the P-Audio E15-600S fits, they're really good value for money in the world of 15" reflex drivers.

	In fact thinking about it, I've heard the E15-600S in the install version of the WS2 and they worked really well so I'd definitely recommend that option.
