The L18 is more detailed due to the stiffer cone, but it has a lot of breakup in very sensitive areas that MUST be dealt with. For a 3-way as dedicated midbass I love it, but in a 2-way it is a lot harder to get sounding right. If you wanna do a 2-way with it, i would recomend using a tweet that can get pretty low, like the dayton reference tweet, or a ribbon.
