[QUOTE="SoundSplinter, post: 1130602, member: 556387"] Heh, well the simplest way I can put it is that the drivers are different. As I was not as actively involved with the TC crew back when SDP was helping them get your proto version of the LMT out, I do not feel comfortable commenting about the differences. Once Thilo, head engineer at TC, returns from China in about 10 days, I will inquire as to the specifics. The enclosure simluations we have done so far are aimed at 1000 watt power feeds, but that alone should not lead to the discrepancy in optimal enclosures that we are seeing. Please keep in mind that I only got my hands on a final version of this driver less than one week ago, so it is going to take some time to proceed with more real-world testing. As has been evidenced by my other drivers, modelling from the Thiele-Smalls is often strange and not necessarily optimal, hence the disclaimers on our [URL="http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=4239"]Preliminary Specification[/URL] document. Patience, and I'm sure you will see that the enclosure recommendations will tighten a bit - but I will confidently state that these drivers are not optimized for small boxes. 2.5 net on a 15"?... not on an RL-s15 if you know what's good for ya!
