I have by no means ruled out the ScanSpeak drivers or the Satori drivers but rather wanted to see what else could work. I have been looking at the Punch Pro PPS4-6 for a long time and I am curious why I would choose say the, Let's say the ScanSpeak 18M/4631T over the Punch Pro PPS4-6? The ScanSpeak - $212 per driver - Sensitivity 92db @ 2.83V/1M The Punch Pro - $59 - $89 per driver - Sensitivity 92.5db @ 1W/1M With their specs and power handling being similar I would imagine BOTH drivers can get pretty loud with decent power. I just don't see where spending three times as much on a single driver is going to be noticeable in a car... or am I wrong? Honestly, the only way I see them being a justified purchase is if they just sound that much better then the Punch mids. Like Creative 3" stereo computer speakers to my Samson Media O*N*E 5a speakers different. Optimal install vs Optimal install of course. Has anyone done an unbiased comparison of similarly spec'd less expensive to more expensive drivers yet?
