Hello.
Having a headache choosing woofers to complement what i already got, and i'd be thankful for some advice.
Shipping and import taxes on many of these makes me wanna do it only once instead of reselling and buying several times.
I got a pair each of the Bliesma T34A and B.
And a pair of B&W LF26751 FST 6 inch Mids, (220 ish FS,95 DB, 4 ohm, incredibly low distortion, and ca 1mm xmax)
Looking for quality woofers that can match up with what i got already. High efficiency, Low distortion, nice extended FR, and plenty of punch. Size and weight is not really of much importance (preferrably under 15 cubic feet though).
In need of covering 20-30 hz to 700-800hz.
The mid has a high FS/low xmax and im looking to use low slope x overs hence the high crossover point.
The strongest contenders so far 2x AE TD15S/H pr side if they can play clean that high, in a .5 config. Having a TD10M in beetween is a option ofc. But 2x15s already takes up a lot of height if for seated listening.
Alternatively a 10/12+18.
Currently running fully passive with a "intergrated amp" (2x280w@8 -> 2x1400W@1 ohm,1 400 000 µF of cap, in the 3 powersupplies)
But using a plate amp/dsp, dsp/biamping for the low end is possible, and maybe desireable.
And Making it a 3 way with a active bottom end is less of a daunting task to blend together well in the crossover.
Interesting drivers:
AE TD18H (The -F3 seems too high and in need of EQ on the low end)
AE TD15S
AE TD15H
AE TD12M
AE TD10M
TAD TM 1201 H
TAD TL 1801
BMS 18N862(More of a sub, and no efficiency to compensate for bsc,another candidate for eq/dsp only i guess)
JBL 2216ND-1
Eighteensound:
15NMB420 (needs some serious eq to do anything but midbass)
12NMB420
10NMB420
I've used some of the nmb420 series before and i found them good quality, sound and easy to work with.
The AE, TAD and JBL driver have limited info available in terms of spec sheets, off angle measurements etc.
So anyone that has experience with them, it would be appreciated with some input.
Looking for highest SQ and will be used for music 90% of the time.

I'd strongly recommend DSP for low-frequency duties - you can even out some room issues that way. Following that, a dedicated amplifier would open up some options for you: since sensitivity won't be such a concern, you'll be able to pick a woofer with more LF extension.

Is the Faital 15PR400 not a good option? It would be the first that i look at for that position; FaitalPRO | LF Loudspeakers | 15PR400 (8Ω)
