As somebody said - best for what? Everything else is to subjective...

For me 18W Revelators are still pretiest girls on the block with all sides well balanced. Now after more than two decades of life they are also legends. And price is still relatively reasonable. When I was drooling over them 20 years ago they were like 180 EUR per piece and now they are just above 200. That seems OK.

My existing pair needs one additional pair so I can start with long wanted 2.5 way transmission line...

And Black Friday is coming...do you here me sales people and AI algorithms, we need Revies on discount!

Hi, do you know if this Scanspeak woofer is available into 8 Ohms impedance?

I have seen it into 4 Ohms only.

I have some pretty awesome 8" drivers fullrange or otherwise (Fostex F200A etc.) but as has been pointed out, 6-7" is challenging. I would put up fiberglass honeycomb (different brands look the same material-wise just fancy trademarks) except I haven't actually used mine (used 4/5.25/8"). SBA Satori Textreme 7.5" is fantastic to 60hz then gone. My poorman's Magico 6.5" resin-coated CF mid(-sub-)woofer sounds like Lowther but that can be quite dry; best paired with warm and sultry. My favorite "drum paper" fullrange comes in 4/5.25/8 (darn good 5.25 bass).

Sorry in the case this may be considered off-topic, but since you are all talking about 6,5 to 7-inch woofers in this thread, please allow me to put this question: which woofers in this category would you use to replace the bass woofers in a Sonus Faber Grand Piano Domus speakers?

The original bass woofers in this speaker work in parallel and are 8 ohms, so I would need 8 ohms woofers to replace them.

Thanks.

Please confess your dearest beliefs before the years ends ultimately , like .. :

Our ancestors have had the best ears and best taste in music (okay not all of them)

Only tube electronics have magic properties that must be experienced in praxis!

ALNICO magnets are the holy grail for anyone who's into music that's healing the world!

TL with pure sheep wool : Cannot be beaten by any other loading principle because of being the perfect absorber! (deep , long and unfolded plus unclosed end)

KEVLAR is the ultimate cone/dome material - if you think different you ignore material physics!

KAPTON - only Kapton MTB is better regarding some aspects! (and please send anyone using aluminium for carriers straight to audio hell)

Btw - MDF is the worst stuff you can ever think of! (compressed unhealthy junk)

Planet Perfect here we come 🙂

I have another question:
I was searching on the net and found the Scanspeak Revelator 18W/8531G00 7″ Midwoofer.
Does the "midwoofer" designation mean that this driver is not able to reproduce low-bass frequencies?
Do I have to search for one listed as WOOFER, not MIDWOOFER?

Thanks.

If you use 9 of them in a 3x3 matrix it will fit the woofer category pretty well!

But who knows the ultimate truth?

This hobby is plagued by the "too many choices" problem!

There are lots of pros and cone for every constellation of things , feel lucky to find one which is SATORI for you!

Life is a long journey and you decide which way to go , nice - right?
