Its was $69/each.
Only listening to 200Hz and down will sound terrible. I've done it many times in order to work with designs. No Matter how you work it, those frequencies are not fun by themselves.
Not sure how having twin voice coils makes it better to serve as a sub.
This right here. The simple fact is that it's the midrange that gives us most of the good stuff.
+1. This range usually are called mid-bass, also referred as pleasure range in music.
IMO with Qts 0.32 and EBP 103 this Faital are suited to a big BR box not an OB.
Lets do a comparison:) For my requirements I am gravitating towards Faital Pro 15PR400. I am drawn to high Bl, low Fs, good sensitivity, 3 inch voice coil, and reasonable Xmax. So what is the worthwhile competition
The Q of the system is changed by the electronic EQ, aka bass boost. Any typical box driver with lower Q can be EQd in dipole to the desired target .6-.7 system Q. But you can't EQ a driver with higher Q like Eminence Alpha down to lower target Q, because the driver cannot obey the amp. That's the problem stated in OP. I like the lowish Q of the FaitalPro. That means well damped and easily controlled by the amplifier and easily sculpted to the desired FR. With 15" you only need a couple mm excursion, even in boosted LF. Xmax not a problem.
high Bl, low Fs, good sensitivity, 3 inch voice coil, and reasonable Xmax.Theses are hi performance motor specs, very common requirements on the woofer market currently, plenty of options.To avoid use EQ I could use the new Lii Audio W-18 OB woofer Qts=0.607, 18'' may be suffice to your room.Li W-18
FullRangeMan,You seem to heartily endorse the Lii F15, F18 and the W15. Have you ever heard any of these drivers? I ask because I have heard the F15’s and was less than impressed. I am still interested in the W15, it looks like it holds some promise. But I would be interested to hear the opinion of someone with direct experience with the driver.
