I’ve been digging through threads looking at options to add to a pair of OB subs and I’m still a little unclear on what the options are. Sounds like the Super Minis are latest option and seems like they should be great but just wanted to check to see if there is still reason to consider some of the previous options. Im also a little unclear on what the differences are...are the the wedgies and Otica MTMs the same thing? I listen to a bit of everything but primarily jazz, funk, and some classical.
Thanks!

I don't know much but I don't think flat pac's are available for Otica MTM anymore. I do have Wedgies and Super Minis and am on the fence which pair do a better job in our environment. Both are excellent, Super Mini's probably the winner with vocals.

There may possibly be some Mtm packs coming one of these days....
All the kits use a gr Neo3 in OB configuration the Wedgies and Super Mini's/Super7/Super 7 Monitors all use a 1" baffle while the NX Mtm uses a 1.5" baffle to keep the Neo3 aligned withthe voice coil of the M165 NQ's.
Some differences
Otica MTM 2 6.5" M165 NQ drivers. in an 8.5" baffle. These will play deeper allowing for a lower cross over point to the subs. They may offer a bit more "body" than the others but likely give up a touch of transparency/imaging
wedgies: Use 4 of the 3" LgK drivers to cover down to the 200 hz range. All mounted in a 5" baffle so crazy imaging and transparency. The Lgk drivers are not currently available , hopefully soon. As I've mentioned in a couple other threads, we do still have flat packs for these and we do have a set of 8, brand new Lgk drivers that have never been used. We can put a kit together at the original prices if someone wishes and Danny can easily supply you with the tweeters and network components.
Super Mini: A single Neo10 in a waveguide covers down to approx 200 hz. the drivers are mounted in a 6.25" baffle so also extremely transparent with amazing imaging. The transition between teh Neo3 and Neo10 is amazingly seamless
Efficiency wise, they are all similar with the MTM's and super Mini coming in right around 92db, the Wedgies would be slightly higher .... 93/94 ish
All 3 of the kits above are easy to assemble and Danny has all the hop up parts if you want to go that route with the networks.
Note, there is a bit of a wait on the Neo10's right now

Sitting here with the Super Mini's I could swear I'm in a smoke-filled bar room.

Thanks, this is helpful. Regarding the NX perhaps having a bit more “body”, would you say they are any more dynamic with punchier music/rock or are all options pretty punchy and dynamic? (I assume with the servo subs and being OB this is still an area where they all excel)
-
I just had a dozen flat packs cut for the NX-Otica MTM. Unfortunately they didn't mirror image them and they cut all left side speakers. So they are suppose to have six more bases cut by Monday so that I will have six pair ready to go out.
-
I would love to own a pair of those if there not all spoken for. Hardware also.

Can you please address this question: Regarding the NX perhaps having a bit more “body”, would you say they are any more dynamic with punchier music/rock than the other models in this thread?

I wouldn't say they were more dynamic or punchier. But they do reach down a little deeper. Instead of having to cross at near 200Hz they are almost flat down to 200Hz.

Yes, one thing to remember, the servo subs cover the ENTIRE bass section, so any/all punchiness will be produced by the dual servo subs, which are quite potent, indeed.

A pair here if you will please
