Default WTB: Adire Audio Extremis 6.8

I posted it also a few years ago but I'm still looking.
Is there someone who has the Extremis 6.8 for sale?

If you don't find what you're looking for, then you might consider the sequel to the midwoofer used in the Extremis. Or I assume it's the sequel. It's got the same xbl2 tech and is made by the company who took over for Adire (for the most part).

DIYCable.com : Intro » Home » Exodus Subwoofers »

Or this one actually advertises as being an Extremis replacement:

CZ Eddie, thank you for your reply.
I know almost every "substitute/equivalent" for the Extremis 6.8
There are a few problems whit those drivers.

1: They look different
2: They are not really the same (T/S parameters -> box volume, tune freq etc)
3: Some are just really NOT a replacement (the freq resp of the SDX7 is not the same as the Extremis and therefore it is not usable to 2kHz)

I have two Extremis 6.8. Personally I don't like what they sound like above 500Hz. To me they are not a mid bass but a woofer.

If you look at the frequency response, for example:

(also with the other measurements)

You can see it can be used as a midwoofer.

Yes, I know the woofer well. I don't like the sound of it used that high, that's all. To me the graph does not tell the story.
