If you want something that will work and not blow up, the Eminence 15 Beta will do that. As far as matching the cab is concerned, it doesn't really, but neither does the original Ashdown driver. My guess is that it will sound worse than the original Ashdown driver because it's been built down to a price for people who want cheap, cheap. (Hint - it's a pile of sh*t!).
You could probably get something much better on the secondhand market if you can watch and wait.

Yeah I want something that will not blow up but I don't want it to sound like someone farting into a PA system either, this is for the bass player in my band. we play pub gigs regularly so would need something soonish but will keep an eye on ebay/gumtree. Would you recommend the kappa speakers or are they not so good either?
