A bit of a re-start here because I previously had eyes on this a few years ago, but stuff like divorce got in the way and y'know, plans go off track... Long story short; Calpomos was the original plan but time and tech move on. I'm in a position to build and afford (within reasonable limits!) a large two-way to replace my Klipsch Forte IIIs and twin 96L 15" subs.
My "research" has me homing in on XT1464 horn (tweeter to be decided) but the question here is about the mid-bass driver. I started with the obvious Faital Pro 15PR400 but in terms of a domestic speaker, but I keep coming back to the Eighteen Sound 15W750. Decent Xmax, low Mms, low Le, 3" VC, curvilinear cone all adds up to a driver that (given that it'll have the DSP of a Hypex FA123 behind it) the ideal mid-bass driver for the job of reaching the proposed 800Hz crossover in a 175L ported box with low 30 something Hertz tune.
Happy to hear about something better as long as it is not assumed I'm a bottomless monetary pit!
