Great work on those! Someone already posted a link to your thread here.Are we allowed to post links to other forums? I tested a bunch of 8" woofers last year over on HTG....
I wanted to ask you: What did you do with the Wavecor woofer you chose?
Yup, it's an 8" woofer threadA 15" is better ! A 8" is not at ease below 100Hz... But if you have size constraints...
I think it would be tricky to make a smooth and sleek looking tower speaker with 15" woofers and a narrow baffle around the midrange/tweeter/coax, which IMO is needed to have a smooth and precise stereo image. I find wide baffle speakers to have a less precise image, because the much bigger baffle contribute too much with all sorts of "new" sounds, rather than just the sound from the drivers alone.
Maybe the huge speaker from Dunlavy, where the entire front is heavily covered in felt:

Nevertheless, I do like big woofers, I just need to build the best I can with the bag of compromises that I've already chosen
@digitalthor Yes ! But to make a lonnnng story short see Linkwitz LX521 or Nao note II RS or BW nautilus... Best results in imaging, precision of bass. Just know what, why you are doing things
I only tried the L22 and have the DXT. But I believe they make pretty good drivers all over.What about the SEAS CA22RNY? Does anyone used or heard these? Any experience based opinion?
The RNY seem well ventilated, light coned, high efficiency and over-all a good driver - for around the price of Wavecor or SS classic.
