I would consider this SB driver:
SB Acoustics :: 6" SB17NBAC35-4
Heard it a week ago, and it plays VERY smooth, open and no problem going down to 30-35 Hz - It was crossed around 2K Hz.
I currently own a pair of SB17MFC35-4 and these have also no issues going to 35 Hz in a 16 Liter cabinet (basreflex)
That's the one I am eyeing. The silver coloured is ugly... I think it should be similar to yours...

My own personal experience, is you can't get a subwoofer to do midbass work well. It will sound a bit slow..
That is my experience too.
I haven't comes across any that can do midbass.

Care to share a bit more of the MLTL design for the5 1/4 inch?
Oon.
email me. The design is proprietary, but we do need a few beta builds.

A subwoofer that doesn’t do midbass? Given that midbass is definded as 40-80 Hz i think it would be hard to find one that doesn’t cover this band.
The CSS SDX10 goes up pretty high — into the mid 100s at least, maybe usable into the high 100s.

Seriously? 40Hz.... midbassGiven that midbass is definded as 40-80 Hz....
20-40 Hz — Lower bass
40-80 Hz — Mid bass’Upper bass
80-320 Hz — Lower midrange
320-640 Hz — Midrange
640-1,280 Hz — Midrange
1.25-2.5 kHz — Upper midrange
2.5–5 kHz — Lower treble
5-10 kHz — Mid Treble
10-20 kHz — Upper Treble
3 octaves of bass, 4 of midrange, 3 of treble

Gotta disagree with 40 Hz being mid-bass.
I an just reiterating the definition. A lot of people call even lower midrange, midbass, but that is wrong.

Yep it's throw away as us old farts can't hear above 10k.
Whenever i thought of this, then i get to listen to 100khz ribbon, and i can hear/see why it is beneficial to have highest freq response available. Even though i may or may not like the sound signature of it.
Interesting chart. I particularly like the lower bottom of the chart where it shows, human hearing emotions vs frequency, such as warmth, punch etc. I thought warm would be a bit higher is frequency though.An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

I can't hear a test signal above 10k but know if it is there in music. If it is missing, you can pick the difference.
I think what Michael meant and I agree with him is subwoofer do midbass poorly especially above a 100Hz. It's like having a normal monitor speaker that goes down to 50Hz and you decide to cross at 200Hz to a huge 15 inch subwoofer with a high pass for your speaker.A subwoofer that doesn’t do midbass? Given that midbass is definded as 40-80 Hz i think it would be hard to find one that doesn’t cover this band.

The bass will sound a bit slow and there would be a lack of punch and definition. I attribute it to the heavy cones of the subwoofer... A 15 inch subwoofer cone can be almost 200grams of Mms. Whereas a good 4 inch is only about 4gms... The motor force of the 15inch is a bit higher but not by much.
Too much difference in weight.
