Masterpiece V
#4

It would seem so. My speaker, being as how it was a theatre speaker, does not have the hard inner portion of the cone which the Super-Giants have.

For those not familiar with this speaker but knowledgeable on Philco speakers, the Super-Giant's cone was similar to the Philco U-9 and most W series speakers (116X, 680X, 37/38-116, 37/38-690) in that the inner portion of the speaker cone was made of a different, harder material than was the outer part of the cone.

And as I recall, a tweeter was optional with the MP V and MP VI. My Clifton cabinet had no hole cut for a tweeter, so apparently it never had one either.
