I don't even want to think about what this one will cost..

(that CSD below 1kHz is mighty fine!)
Here is a cost-no-object Co. using them..

I'm planing on upgrading to seas for my kick pods. These are a bit to expensive for a car imo. I think for the money you could do much more important things in a car.
TRUsound I didn't know you were on here. Have you ever considered selling a SMPS PS so people could use their amp designs in car?

Those drivers are already for sale at the german distributor For a lot less than the mentioned 525 US dollar. The tests in the german magazine HobbyHifi don't show exceptional behaviour when compared to other high quality offerings (Scanspeak, Thiel&Partner/Accuton, Seas Excel).
Midwoofer? I don't understand the fuzz around this thing. What's special? At least response has a notch right above 1Khz, impedance curve shows its a breakup..
So where do you need a 7" midwoofer running up to 1Khz? Basket isn't as open as many modern drivers and if even price if astronomical...

I think the "proof" is in the listening.. our in-ability to measure all thats audible is likely substantial. Of course the "tighter" engineers would argue that what sounds better is just distortion, but they seem to keep coming up with new tests that re-define what they previously considered was possible.
Scott,
Sure. But naturally it's about much more than just response or distorsion. Drivers and speakers overall can be analyzed pretty accurately with present methods if all of them are used. I don't know any DIY builder or that many commercial manufacturers that have the gear or see the trouble but it's possible.
And while something trips to simple basic measurements are there any good reason not to assume the sound is like that because driver isn't that perfect?
At least there is nothing wrong about that. Human ear isn't that accurate to technical perfection and subjective listening impression is what counts. Personally I just like to know why something sounds that and that.
For example this 15W Scan Speak which we discussed earlier has pretty significant amount of THD in its reproduction. And what I heard SS team isn't even measuring THD in their development, they are making instruments, not neutral as possible. Still these drivers are very liked and praised items. Personally I'd invest 60 euro Vifa and have pretty much same performance without handmade and SS status tag on it.
