SB Acoustics Textreme

Could just be the IEC-baffle which they use for their measurements, at least the unusual 900Hz dip corresponds exactly to that.

I will still test one against say NBAC. Everyone knows that the factory measurements does not know how it sounds. We don't know the distortion of these units yet, so everybody calm down .. LOL. But I am less excited than I was which kinda sucks.

something is fishy, open the pdf-file on the same page and compare it to the graph on the page, very different looking, one is from july and the other from october, rev0 vs rev1

Hi,

Notice that 6.5" teXtreme drivers share the same graph as the 8" FR unit. So there might be some graph mix-up at the SB site.

 

[Oneminde]

Lets hope, because you are right .. its very noticeable.

Good catch - at least based on the date it seems to be exactly the same image. A mix-up definitely seems possible.

 

[Oneminde]

The plot in the data sheet has not changed... is SBA's IT department getting fired .. LOL

I hope this is mix up and nothing more!

And a few pics...

I wonder what the break-up bump >15k looks like in non-marketing coated measurements.

 

[Ro808]

The expected price of this "Be killer" is about €340.

Eminence is very confident in this material, they call it the "no brainer" 🙂

Hopefully they will make woofers from it too

- Update -
The TX graphs on the webpage has been restored and is now what we have seen via rev.1 in the datasheet.

They did:"High speed of sound and acoustical figure of merit make this material a “no-brainer""

I just have no idea what the rest of the sentence means.

 

[Oneminde]

No one does, its called marketing and have no real meaning .. lol

Audiophile jibber-jabber, along the lines of "fast bass".
