Haven't auditioned them one vs the other, only done some measurements where (as Hornresp predicts) they're extremely close. They reach their limits at about the same time when you hammer them with a MA12000i, too. Not much to choose between them, really.
I use them for live sound, so moving the kick drum mic 6" makes a bigger difference to the LF sound quality.

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.
For home use,
52x Vifa TC9
2x Scan Speak 10F
2x Scan Speak 30W
Of the above list 50x Vifa and 2x Scan speak 10F are in use... the 2x Scan Speak 30W will soon be added to the in use list, meaning I only have 2x Vifa TC9 laying around for future use and/or experiments
.
My goal (and hobby) is to get the best out of what I have, not to build as many variations as I can. I got tired of trying out many different drivers. I don't think that's where the answers are to my particular questions.

Can not stop bying drivers
Hi
I can not stop bying new drivers.
Most of the ones I have have never been out of the box. I have a lot of ideas but not enough time and/or energy to try them all out.
That said I have 5" TB fullrange and 2 vifa 8" for home cinema.
I have the PA stuff for my mobile discotheque.
And I have some of the Scan Speak and the Focals for stereo.
Next project is a baffle less three way speaker for stereo. Wavecors for bas, ESS for highs and and will experiment with all of the drivers that can handle the midrange.
best regards
Uwe
PS me and drivers is a little like my wife and shoes/handbags etc.

Peerless 830869
BMS 4540ND on JBL 6" PT waveguide
Fostex FF125K
Fostex FF85WK
Tang Band W4-1320SIF
Faital Pro 6FE100 (two in a single monophonic setup for garage tunes)
Eminence APT80 (only one in that same enclosure)
That list would have been 3-4x as long a few years back, but it's good to cull the herd and only keep what's in actual use.

A wife wouldn't tolerate it anyway.
No doubt and I was including you in the Dave #'s as without you how many complete pairs would he have?
