Adire is developing an OEM monster 4" with extra long Xmax. I think the customer is Acoustic Visions (don't quote me). This was shown at the CES show earlier this year.

Audiotechnology. Astronomically priced though. You might consider their c-quenze (or s/thing like that) line that's cheaper

The VIFA TC11WG49 is a nice little woofer. It is Reasonably priced also. The performances are good with smooth freq response to 8000 Hz.
I say it represent what mid-fi is about. Good performance, down to earth technology, good price.

Audiotechnology drivers are expensive everywhere. You're lucky if there is no official sales-representative in your country because in this case you can buy from them directly (there is none for Switzerland fortunately 😎 ) which can make quite a difference.

Gary f, looking at Vifas response curve, the TC11 is good up to 5000-5500hz. I did some acoustic measurements on the driver and found a rather step roll off from about 4000-4500hz. Can anyone confirm my measurements?
Charles, your perfectly right. The prices on AT's website are a great deal lower than f.ex. in Australia.
OK, maybe not 8000 Hz but I have some measurements from quite a few samples (we use them a lot at my job) and the rolloff begin at 6500 Hz but is smooth and the response is 7 db down at 8000 hz AND with no cone breakup at all.
response from 250 to 7500 is +- 4 db

Gary, that's good news. I new something was wrong with those measurements. I use an Audigy, and if I did those measurements in 96khz sampling rate it might be the cause. Audigy has a cruel roll off (I found out yesterday) starting at 2khz. The response is 5db at 15khz when using 96khz sampling.. 😱
Re: Adire
Just for clarification: The 4" being developed is a "full-range" driver. The woofer being developed is a 6" XBL2 based design known as the Extremis 6 and will also be carried by Creative Sound Solutions (due out this spring).

With a name like XBL^2, it's got to be good...
I got the XBLues^2 that the prices are so high, though.

there is a simialr discussion (fostex only) over here

anyone know any 4" that can operate out to 5k+ like the Fostex 103 and still have a linear one way x max of 3mm?
