[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8716604, member: 650438"] its a straight up drop in replacement in the install which is fully and properly tuned ready for local MECA meets, SB got its butt whooped in all aspects even with 10+ hours of tuning and playing with different positioning, checking phase, RTA sweeps the works. I even have it outside testing them side by side. Theres literally no comparison. Charts and measurements is one thing which is in a controlled environment, how the driver works IRL is totally different story, you of all people should know this. BTW The measured response was with an RTA and REW, to other people its fine but I personally rather like the airy and details that beryllium drivers can produce same with planar magnetic headphones which is not a natural flat roll off so thats pure subjective taste Those graphs do not look pretty to the eye but they sound sweet and detailed when music is played I personally do not like the harmon house curve at all. As for efficiency, the massive CT2s can keep up with 4 18s on 30k. The SB acoustics no matter the crossover point, could not even come close to keeping up even with the sub level knocked down several notches both were on 150 rms per channel worth of power So literally we can argue paper stats all day or we can actually test the drivers and see for ourselves. You pick. [/QUOTE]
