[QUOTE="ciaonzo, post: 6530430, member: 607015"] I wasn't aiming at anyone in particular, just contributing to the conversation. But since you asked, I'll first point out to you that it is not a subwoofer at all. It's a woofer, and there is a difference. It could be used as a subwoofer but it would most likely be used in a three-way full range setup for 2-channel home audio. Music [I]does[/I] imply a broad frequency range which is why they went through the trouble of putting copper in the motor to keep inductance down and it's also why everything about this driver is to facilitate a musical presentation, from the curvilinear profile cone with the flat edges on the perimeter to break up the modal behavior within it, to the open basket design to keep it from being a large obstruction to the rear wave, and everything in between. As I stated before they even placed breaks in the spider to prevent it from being a significant second source for resonance and character. This driver, once the peak at 800Hz is addressed with a very simple notch filter, could be used right up to 1KHz without any change in it's power response up to 30* off-axis, which is very impressive for a 10", and would allow for a very flexible filter design between it and the midrange driver it may be partnered with. Moving mass is a mere 98 grams and it still has an Fs of 23Hz which may give you an idea of how soft the spider is.
