Just wondering if anyone has seen this yet? Looks interesting.

Very handsome looking. Is this the SS-Seas buster i 'v been waiting for? -
Not sure about that....if so its one heck of a deal.Comment

Kind of looks like an SB acoustics.Comment

I've never learned what an "Underhung design " meant or what the advantages were. Got any links to references?Comment

I have the distorsion and off-axis curves for the drivers in this series. I think it looks good but when I posted it in a Swedish DIY-forum most people where just whining about wrong dB scales and whatnot. Their loss, IMHO.

Hmm I wonder when the 8" will come out

Thanks Thomas. That worked.Comment

Hmm all of those TB's looks good. The on- and offaxis responses looks very good and so does the distortion considering it's been raised by 30 dB... Can one trust their measurements?Comment
-
It does look like a nice set of drivers. Personally, I'd wait for independent measurements - they aren't exactly cheap. Also, I'm surprised that the 6.5 isn't more efficient given that it's a 4 ohm and has a paper cone. Lastly, it seems to me that the Le isn't all that low for a motor with a shorting ring.Comment
-
Well they aren't all that expensive either. I mean if you look at just about anything from seas your talking tons more.... They are slightly more then Dayton RS drivers but not much it seems.Comment
-
True. They do seem to be a good deal if the specs are accurate. I guess I was saying that they're more than I would plunk down without verified measurements. Same would go for the RS series (go ahead, call me skeptical).Comment

The Le looks like a typo. Should be uH instead of mH.Comment

The low efficiency I assume comes from the long excursion. The specified number is +-, not peak-to-peak, just so you know. The Scan-Speak Illuminators has similar excursion and higher efficiency (IIRC) but that's a neodymium motor and the price is not remotely comparable. If the TBs had the same sized motor with neodymium they wouldn't cost $50.
I'll definetly build something with one of them, maybe a two-way with the eight inch and the Beryllium tweeter if it measures well.Emil Attlid

If the 8" plays rather low it may be a candidate for my car.Comment

Is PE going to carry the 8"?Comment

I would imagine so.... They just came out I believe? At the moment I only see the 6.5" although I have not looked for the smaller ones. I was wondering Jed, would the 5" fit in the statements or does it require to much volume? I have not tried to map them out with unibox yet been kind of busy.Comment

Ah they do have the 5"....hmm I wonder why they don't have the 8"Comment

Yeah sorry I was a bit distracted sorry Even sealed off it would be to little space? They probably wouldn't offer more output but they are definitely built better. Probably not something I would do anyways just thoughts that pop into my mind.

F3 80z so you'd need a sub with the 5". The best 5" woofer I've modeled in a small box with the deepest bass is the Hivi D5.8. They're just a bit expensive though.Originally posted by Dougie085Yeah sorry I was a bit distracted sorry Even sealed off it would be to little space?
