[QUOTE="geolemon, post: 231356, member: 547749"] Not correct...We originally were not only licensing XBL2, but licensing it from the same build house as Adire, who suggested that we use one of their two "stock" XBL2 motors. The Brahma motor seemed a natural for our design goals... however, the parts decisions we made I feel offered several advantages, whether in terms of total excursion capability (Xmech), or efficiency (both via higher Vas suspension and a 50 gram lower moving mass), or cooling (deeper, direct-voice coil vented basket). But now, we decided we wanted to make a little more of a statement when we debut. So we are being a bit quiet for now, if you hadn't noticed. [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif[/IMG] But at this point, we have custom tooled our own proprietary XBL2 motors (think longer, stronger, tighter), utilizing a build house that has much higher quality control levels and tooling flexibility... We have custom tooled our own spider (it's really overkill)... And we have been investigating tooling our own cone unit, a unique design.. we might not need to (or want to) with these initial guys. Oh, and despite the custom parts, we are going to try to stick to the prices that we already announced (and we certainly are, for those with a preorder, who are unfortunately waiting a little longer than expected as it is, for their patience) Of course, the Brahma is out, right now.. and it's a great sub. It's what motivated me to go the XBL2 route, as the motor architecture offers great sound quality advantages, at a much broader excursion range. So, you can go with what you know is safe, I am sure you will love it. We knew that our original subs we had had great performance potential, at a price that we were actually being accused of trying to "undercut" (like an attack:p) with. However... it's not enough... I like the "speak softly and carry a big stick" analogy... We wanted something that performs so exceptionally well, while offering such a high value for the dollar, that all other options seem silly in comparison. So... You can get a Brahma now, and it will still be one of the best subs, for sure... Or, you can wait and see what we come up with, when we make our official announcement!
