I dont get it, since that g18 is a "older model" right ?? wonder why they stopped making them

man I wish they had a 8" midbass and a 11-13cm midrange


[or maybe I surry hurry the heck up and finish my doors/pillars to get the vifa pl's and peerless xls in before I start going off to think about new stuff already lol]


those things sound awesome

I really dug the 07's in subjective tests( for me they were waaay better than the XXX and anyting else I have had so far), but it seems overall that the g18 is the better woofer

hmmmm


very very interesting

i remember my friend was looking into the older ones too..

the older ones were Excel-class drivers (pretty copper everywhere!)...

I miss those mids... they were very nice! My dream speaker would be a Focal utopia w cone with Seas motor... sigh

 

[Drumah]

Now all you need to do is test the Extrwemis :wink:

I thought you said the motor on the Dayton RS was better than the Seas Excel and the Excel had the better cone... or am i delusional... :?: if i'm correct, why would you want the Seas motor instead of the Dayton?

The Extremis has already been tested...

I don't remember saying that? Although they should be quite similar. I have the most experience with the 5", and I did prefer the w15 excel to that one. The 8" though I've heard is better than the w22.

It can be tested again... I'm actually looking at it right now and debating lol.

i just finished my extremis/morel center channel for HT.....sucker needs some power.....but that thing can dig down deep....

Why use the extremis for a center channel? I would think you can do better since the center channel wouldnt benefit from the low end and displacement the extremis have... i would have put more effort on something with better midrange perhaps...

because i had it laying around, and dan designed the crossover for free for me....

my only complaint so far is the efficiency....just need a larger mono for it...

i beleive that was Mr Ds-21 who said that the Dayton ref motor was better than the basic Seas line motor... i don't think they beat out the Excel line.

Seas Excel : copper above & below pole piece, to reduce inductance & improve linearity

Seas Basic : no copper

Dayton RS : has copper ... don't know where (in relation to pole), how much

I think the exact opposite. my home theatre does benefit form the low end extension the center channel is crossed over between 40-50hz and up.there is alot of low stuff in the center channel and my set up sounds F'n awesome

 

[MIAaron]

^^^I agree. A very large amount of information goes through the center channel. Unless you have a sub for each channel, your center channel needs to cover the same spectrum as your mains. Otherwise you have a gap from the sub xover to where the center channel comes in, and it is right smack dab in the middle of your sound stage.

bump for the real info
