Just checking out this driver on Parts Express and can't figure out how this driver can claim an Fs of 75hz. Based on the manufacturers provided response curve it looks like it's dropping off well before 100hz.
Here's a link to TB's spec sheet:

Manufacturer response curve is usually on open baffle. You can get more bass by using horn or bass-reflex enclosure.
Did you get a look at this one? Wish I had a few extra bucks lying around to compare them to each other.

Interesting 5" I havent noticed before

Maybe this 4" could be worth a try

Henkjan,
>finally a TB 3" with a usefull Xmax!<
Don´t fall into that trap unless you´re talking car subwoomphers. A driver pumping like mad is a driver loaded with LF it can no way convert into SPL. Back to the drawing board, have a dream about a horn really loading the driver.

As a sat unit or line array, 3" seems the optimimum size for a metal cone driver.
Just saw these on PE site- why are people comparing them to much more expensive drivers? Looks like a bit of a bargain for the spec.
There is a raise or possible breakup just under 20khz. Not sure about accoustic XO at 80hz as they drop off a little too much perhaps. Anyone tried them? They could be just what I'm looking for..

owner/operators of numerous Jordan and Mark Audio drivers might not concur with that

IIUC That's a Dan Wiggins driver. It has the attention to detail I'd expect. Plus the datasheet specifically mentions XBL in the motor description.
It probably kicks donkey, but at that price it needs to.

Wish Jordan did a model between the jx92 and the jxr6.. wd be the perfect driver IMO
Mark Audio already do several. I know I'm going to get some flack for saying this, as Jordan are often seen as some kind of sacred cow, but the fact is, the engineering in the MA drivers is also several generations beyond the Jordan units. The latter remain good performers, but the world moves on, simple as that.
In all seriousness, sacred, no; well regarded, yes. How many manufacturers of FR / WR units do you know of that a/ actively ask what people want, and b/ put a lot of effort into actually improving performance in new models?
Competition is good. Improves the breed.

Scott, I think few pos(t)ers herein are aware of Mark's devotion, emotion and most surprisingly as you note, the direct feedback he invites - guys (it's hard to think of Mark as a typical faceless corporation) like this are certainly to be cherished and encouraged
Well, I must have emailed every manufacturer recently - its good to hear that there are some new full range models in the pipeline.
of course we'd all be interested - care to share with the class?
