[QUOTE="Doxquzme, post: 8874995, member: 689267"] True, and why I state, all things considered equal. There are a multitude of variants, but that foundation is where you start and build from there, knowledge wise. I see too many situations where people think that new drivers and twice the power are golden only to be sadly surprised that it isn't any better and in some cases worse. In this situation, not talking about 2 stellar products anyways, not thinking with 1000 watts and those pride drivers, the OP is going to hear anything better, certainly not any louder. I remember going from a pair of Pio 12's, middle of the road TS-W1200Fs to there their flagship SPL monster TS-W5000SPL's . I went from a 500 watt amp to a 1000 watt amp and because the SPL's were a bit less efficient (4 db), zero difference in volume. That said, when played at max for either, the SPL's definitely sounded better for sure. On that same note (no pun intended) for musical playback the 1200F's were more dynamic, faster at that 500 watts. The SPL's were 4 times the cost of the 1200F's too. Now, when we added amp for a 2000 watt setup, everything played at medium or above volume was much improved with the SPL's, completely. Different equally efficient larger motor/higher quality drivers at 1500 to 3000 watts versus what we are working with here, yeah, that would be the ticket. [/QUOTE]
