What do you guys make of the findings here? Maybe the competition has finally caught up or even surpassed the mighty 2226?

Can't believe I just wasted 1 min reading a few sentences of that.
I go JBL 2226 and forget the rest.
Price (on ebay or similar), reliability, perfected over decades.
I've read what JBL engineers have written.
They make sense.
99% of what you read doesn't.
You can read ferrite vs neo magnet take (some JBL guy).
Neo is a 2l turbo and ferrite is V-12 or straight 6.
It's like foam surrounds.
Yeah, they might have been and still might be superior to synthetic rubber for 10-15 years, but then what?
I just changed the surround of 4 2226H to the foam variant (2235) to lower the fs.
And to get even more infra bass I tweaked the spider, with a scalpel surgical knife, by cutting out 8 triangulare shape pieces.
Resulting in fs 17 to 18 Hz.
Then i put all 4 of them in the wall, with my 18cubic meter (18 000 litre) garage as an enclosure.
I´m letting them play between 15Hz to 28Hz.
The alternative i had was to add mass... but making the suspension smoother gives me much higher sensitivity, and higher power handling.
