They look great zivko! someone local to me (who mostly stocks OHM systems) has a pair of xl1800 too that they said they'd be up for testing with my th1819.

I've finally managed to get grills, wadding and front foam ready to finish these off over the winter. I've still got two loaded but unpainted.
Had them out on saturday though, for a local dub event's 2nd birthday.
The RTA on the room mic recording was showing great response down to 20 in the room. Not calibrated but a helpful indicator.

I put in two stacks of 3x xl1600 th1819, 2x rcf lf18n401 usb2 bph and 3x community sls920.

Many comments through the night about how coherent and intelligible the bass spectrum was. I do think with the impedence of 3 per channel mostly sitting around 3.9 - 4.5 ohms It may be interesting to try the k10 in bridge mode some day as xl1600 take some power to really get to work and I'd never afford a k20.

I still really enjoy running these fullrange up to 110 crossed straight to the 2x12" straight horn of the community tfr34a, having spent a couple of weekends this summer mixing bands on them and a wide range of djs.

New HF horn. Play a more linear and higher, and tonal more correct than the previous HF horn, instruments sound even more natural!:)

Interesting, at what voltage do you long term limit the 18xl1800?

I've got two 18sw115 loaded keystones and the winding depth/gap height relationship of these 18xl1800 are defo more impressive and the driver are even cheaper than the 18sw115 in Europe. I wonder if they would work good in the keystone, the parameters seem closer to 18tbw100 which is also recommended in the keystone.

Maybe it could squeeze a db or two and a Hz or two more out of the design :) could be something not lining up making it a worse candidate just as well otoh
