Could you just clarify this phrase as it could be read a couple of ways, but seems to be saying a woofer made for you that we can't buy?
As for VFM the law of diminishing returns cuts in very quickly and gets very flat. But I am intrigued to understand the inference that after much investigation of TL loading you have landed on a PR as being just as good, or am I missing something?
Sorry, the woofer is a custom aluminum cone one for LSA and is not available for sale. But you can look at the Misco BWX-6502 which uses same patented XBL technology but is in paper cone. I’m sure it sounds great looking at the measured specs.

The XBL works perfectly as a drop in replacement for the Purifi in my TL. Which was one reason I didn’t see the point of spending that much anymore. This was the Purifi TL but with the Wiggins XBL and our custom ribbon and non optimized crossover - the one from the RAAL and Purifi

Hello Billshurv,
See this very affordable alternative for us Urpeeans. It looks as if cone and surround are similar: I have a hunch the manufacturer -no doubt Chinese- also caters to Dayton Audio.

Thank you for clarifying.
Ah, I completely misconstrued what you were saying there. My bad.
No worries. I think Dan Wiggins licenses his technology to many companies. So Misco is one option. There are others too I think. I really like how they sound and the work he did on making the motor have a linear BL curve is great. It’s also got 10mm Xmax - which is rare for 6.5in driver before Purifi came along. This was years before Purifi but they had the brand recognition of Bruno Putzeys on the design team.
They are not mine to sell. 70-20xr’s are OEM only so not available to the general public. But, I think if you contact the owner, Alex. He may be very helpful.
Edit, I see you can get them at Madisound now.

It’s a small company. I’m pretty sure he handles all inquiries.

LSA Statement 100 - crossover
The RAAL has a very extended top end into the 50khz range I think. Not that we can hear up there but it means transient leading edges are crisp. I am not sure the extra $400 is worth it...
One with Raal 64-10 https://www.diyaudio.com/community/threads/best-8-inch-woofer.278192/post-7562003
I'm planing to put 3 more HM per box so that it form an 8ohm (2+2 series in paralel) so that with 4 midbass in box I get more spl enough so that Raal get no attenuation but only one capacitor : ) If atenuation is more than 1ohm than an paralel 0.62mH must be added as 64-10 is designed strictly to 3k crossover point, but shifting midbass spl to the right value and attenuation is not need at all the same time only one capacitor can be used for Raal 64-10. How this Raal sound? I can confirm all described on this page https://www.raalribbon.com/products_flatfoil_70-10.htm : )

64-10 is strictly designed for 3k freq and reguire only one capacitor 4.7uF, if you put something else it not going to work nice. This tweeter not working as like other tweeters, it have an builtin inductance of 0.62mH which is part of the crossower, take a look at post 138 for idea. If you need to get nice maximum from this tweeter look for an eficient midbass with the same spl as tweeter and design crossower so that tweeter not get atenuation at all but only one 4.7uF copacitor, it will overperform anything you heard recently believe me! I'm using this tweeter for almost ten years, my reference speaker.
If attenuation is need more than 1ohm than you must put an paralel inductance like this:
