Celestion Raven: Celestion's Answer to DV77?

Yeah my guess is that it's something similar to the Eminence DV-77 or Karnivore.
 
What makes you think of the DV-77 here? I don't see the connection tbh. Seems like something new. If anything, it reminds me of the Jensen Blackbird 40 which is an Alnico speaker that weighs just 2 kg.
 
I dunno, kind of looks like a lighter weight version of the V30 with higher power handling? It's 5 pounds instead of 10 pounds, overall frequency response is similar, takes 100 watts instead of 60...

"Raven" branding is interesting, maybe they just want to finally get away from confusing model numbers?
 
The Raven’s magnet is 30oz, same size as a Greenback or V-Type.

Maybe Celestion is offering its version of a Jensen Tornado 100. The Raven and Tornado have a common resonant frequency of 72Hz. A peculiar number when all of Celestion’s popular speakers are quoted with resonant frequencies in multiples of 5.
