"What is the true SPL rating of the W8-1772? is it the 93dB/w/m that TB advertises? Or is is the 100dB above 10kHz? Or is it 90dB at 100Hz? All of these numbers taken off of the TB spec sheet. No, it is the 90dB at 100Hz minus the baffle step. Now you see where the 8dB BSC comes from. The ||RC filter tames the high end rising response. So....
The W8-1772 is an 87dB driver if you want a balanced bass and midrange. That will give you a full, realistic bass. If you trade bass to SPL, you get a thin, excuse me, tight bass and a lively midrange. Choices, choices. Now, I am not trying to tell you how to enjoy your music, but you know mine.
