I have looked into drivers for a 4 sub swarm-like dba system and have come across these two drivers as high quality options. I am looking for mid 20Hz to ~80Hz performance band. I plan to use dsp crossovers, correction, etc. to pair these with 1 AE dipole 18 in an h frame per side from 80Hz to roughly 300Hz, then ribbons above. Which of these drivers would you choose and why? Thanks...
Test Bench: CSS SDX10
Test Bench: L26ROY (2 layer voice coil version of L26RO4Y)

The Test Bench reports look similar to me. The L26RO4Y has a much stronger motor than the SDX10 (BL=17.7NA vs 10.55-11.8, both 4 ohm nominal) and therefore is more efficient in a small box. If I remember correctly, the SDX10 has been around for longer, suggesting that the L26RO4Y is of a more modern design.

Not seen the SEAS, My woofers with SDX10 were very good. 44 liters sealed, push-push. So 4 woofers gives only 2 subs.
Made of 15mm BB, it proved the effectiveness of push-push loading.
