I tried searching, but I see surprisingly little input on this midrange..
My main question is: Is the lower midrange/upper bass comparable to the 15W8530, provided you don't exceed the low xmax of the driver? I'm talking about ranges 150Hz - 300Hz or so. And how about the lower treble?
This driver seems like a very good midrange for 3-ways to me. I suppose it misses the coating, at least based on the photos I've seen, compared to 15W's.

It should certainly manage 150Hz Xover if it is in a sealed enclosure. Even easier if it was a sealed enclosure plus an electrical filter.
Oh, I forgot to answer. 🙁 Sorry!
Thanks for the input. I've been doing some more searching, and I've found similar comments. I indeed had in mind to use an active cross-over and a sealed enclosure, not to mention MTM layout. 2nd order HP for acoustic LR4. Maybe even higher if that's what sounds good with SS 8565-01's.
I also found comments of this driver being very fast & transient, suits me.

With a small series inductor(0.3mH ?) with RC and additional "notch" filter you will get very nice sound
150hz is ok at low levels - but at higher level I reckon it will move a lot, and in my book a midrange shouldnt move much, at least not visuably ... which I think is in the nature and advantage of a midrange😉
Furthermore, 150hz is right in the middle of the baffle step loss
but it might work with a little overlap from the woofers
Will you use double 10"(8565) to match the double 15M

Yup, double 8565 in a closed cabinet.
Most likely it's gonna be WMTMW, since the QTC I'm aiming for is below 0.6, and with MTMWW the bottom cabinet would grow enormously big. A WMTMW gives a possibility for a taller but slimmer cabinet. Not to mention symmetrical radiation. 😀 Form follows function, anyone?
150hz for 15M4531 is kinda low, but I'm going to try it anyway. The idea came from Barefoot Sound MM27's (http://www.barefootsound.com/) . 110Hz - 2k5 xovers with (probably) Vifa 5" midranges. Those who have heard it say it works wonderfully.
Another good option would be to use the 2x10's for BSC. I wouldn't want to take them much above 250Hz though..
It's going to be all active (analog) cross-overs. Notch filters no problem. They're 4ohm drivers allright, so why don't I just hook them up in series? 🙂
