How are these subs, they look quite beastly. I also wonder how they compare to the LMS subs from TC as they seem to use the same tech. Any info would be cool, even though I can't buy one, lol.

They are high Q drivers. Long excursion, high power driver. It is a preferred choice of many people who have loads of space for a large sealed box and a large amp. Does very well in home audio. Just due to the sheer amount of materials and motor, it is more expensive. The Demo ring from last year, everyone loved it a great deal. I hope to own one some day.

I'm pretty sure the RLS and the LMS are quite different drivers, especially since the RLS doesn't use a linearly wrapped coil.

lms uses a variable density vc as well. Not sure if the rls doesBut I don't think it does.

rl-s is not the best option for CA imho. Needs too big of a box to be usefull. For HA, however, it is a kick *** driver.

From the SS website:

 

Due to the nature of this product's variable density voicecoil, the T/S parameters will look a little strange when judged on a conventional basis.

from the pic the RL-S looks to have a linear VC. Flat wound copper iirc, not as tall as the LMT's in my avatar, not as tall as the LMS-Ultra or the LMS 5400. The LMS 5400 and Ultra were not flat wound and they were AL wound iirc...

Rl-s uses TC KMS or LMT tech, whichever its called. It has a variable density VC as stated on their site. http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=2748 Is where it was explained, also if you read the description on the page it says it is a variable density coil.
