[QUOTE="ciaonzo, post: 8653096, member: 607015"] I didn't look up the drivers so I wasn't sure if they were 4 ohm or 8 ohm. So you do grasp the concept for sensitivity. Most don't so I wanted to run it by you. Those drivers aren't going to do the job the same way. That's why I hit you with the other questions. There's definitely good reason for paying for a certain level of quality and performance. That's not to be confused with overpaying for the exact same performance from two different drivers, but again, that does not describe the case for the two drivers you just selected for comparison. Overall... No, you do not have to pay Scanspeak prices for Scanspeak performance. Regardless of what some will claim, you cannot get good sound from just any driver just because the FR looks the same on a graph. Motors, cone materials, cone profiles & softparts all have an enormous impact on the overall subjective results, and that is what matters most once you're all done installing and tweaking. But you have to have a vision for what you expect from the final results before you can narrow the selections down for your application. I can help guide you since I have about 25 years experience with DIY and driver selection. Otherwise, you can also head over to the numerous other home audio DIY forums to get real scientific reasons (and truly helpful subjective impressions, not audiophile fluff words) as to why some drivers just don't cut the mustard, even though they look good on paper. Of course, this assumes a good install or application, no matter what. Before someone jumps in and overstates the obvious. [/QUOTE]
