If you really want the 3015LF and they are really 300 freaking dollars.
Hit me up with a PM and I will give you allot better price. I just checked and even though my price has gone up $50 bucks over the last month! I still can get them at a fairly decent price.
hey thanks for the offer man! i already ordered from etail for 164 shipped, but it still says processing. if anything happens and the order gets canceled for some reason, i'll give you a call!

Traditional magnet system:
Eminence Definimax 4015LF ($200-9mm)
BMS 15S330 ($180-10.5mm)
BMS 15S430 ($222-10mm)

P.S.

The JBL method of measuring x-max is not known to me, the 6.5mm figure in post #22 may be higher with the +(1/4)GH method.

BMS, I added +(1/4)GH to the data sheet values.

Faital Pro, they use +(1/3)GH, so you need to subtract a bit from their numbers to compare.

Eminence, the old method (several years now) was coil overhang only, new method includes a percentage of GH.

P-Audio, coil overhang only, you need to add +(1/4)GH.

RCF and 18Sound both use + (1/4)GH

JBL originally never added anything so maybe you could add + (1/4)GH with their Xmax (depends on how you want to compare)

Monacor doesn't produce any drivers themselves (at least 5 different third parties) and it's very difficult to get hold on reliable information. Probably you have subtract (1/3)GH for the drivers mentioned in my earlier post.

Well I ordered from b and h and the rep told me he just got off the phone with the warehouse who would be drop shipping to me and the rep said that he had two in stock.

When I spoke to the rep at etail she told me the speaker hadn't shipped because the warehouse in NJ listed two in stock but the worker there looked for an hour and couldn't find them.

I ordered from b and h yesterday at 9am and still no shipping confirmation email yet. I have a feeling I'll be waiting for the next batch of 3015lf's to be made until I actually get mine.

Also I noticed on the Eminence site that they list the 3015lf at 98.4db 1w/1m (off memory). Could it be yet another new version of the 3015lf?? I could have sworn the other posted sensitivities were higher!!
