Hi Folks.
I built a pair of W8-2314, 25L in bass reflex with an analog active crossover.
I really like them!
Still i am wondering that the woofers response does not at all match the datasheet.
Above 3K it drops 12dB/octave without any crossover.
Taking a look at the impedance curve, i think this is normal.
So after the real world measurements ( measuring a little of axis) the woofer
can´t go higher than 1K5 witch is ok because the tweeter seems to work well down there.
I am wondering about some very different curves i saw here in this thread.
Do you have any explanations ?
Cheers,
Alex.

TB is well known to doctor their FR graphs.
I really wanted to like them, being a Taiwanese company and supporting local businesses, but in the end, I didn’t enjoy their smoothing of data. They do make good drivers, but they often need some work to sound good. That being said, the W6-2313 that I have sound really good, they image very well, but it was work trying to mesh the woofer and the tweeter.
Since then, I have come to love SBA. Their data and real world measurements are very close, and they do offer some great drivers as well. I’m a big fan of SBA now.
They also have a nice Satori coax that I would love to try.
