Nope, not a fair comparison indeed. The best would be comparing it to the dcx354 on the RCF HF94 horn. It’s a horn that allows both 1,4” and 1” drivers to be mounted. Let’s do that once I get my hands on one of these 5530’s..
FWIW, someone on AVSForum has some of the JMOD MEHs and was able to directly compare with the PM90s. But as others have said, I don't think a 2x12" + DCX MEH would be able to compete in terms of raw output against a PM90 if that's what you're after.
@galucha - that is my thread and I've been emailing you. Appreciate the plans and thought again on the MEH's.
As I said in that other thread, the MEH sounds better and something about the design that tricks your brain with the clarity and imaging.
With the goals of pure output, agreed the PM90 is a better option than the MEH, but sounds like you're looking for even more output.
Not sure how you're going to get much more output than the PM90 without some other trade-offs in a similar size box. It does what it's designed to do very well.
Know HSD has their version of the PM90 as the Mantarray 90 with a bit more output trading for bit bigger box here but still in a single cabinet you could mimic.

@zzy I will note having the PM90's - they are a little awkward to move with how tall and skinny they are. Not a big deal by any means but if you ended up going wider like the HSD version and don't plan I stick mounting, I don't think it would actually change portability that much beyond the weight.
Guess I am curious what scenario you need more output than the PM90 but wouldn't end up doing something with multiple boxes.
