SB Audience has released a new Neo 8" woofer..

In considering this driver for the DR200, the Theile parameters are good, though could you guys check the curve please, not looking like a rising response in the midrange..?

Awesome! Thanks for checking that out Bill :)

If the QTS was lower on this 12" subwoofer..

We'd have a T30 candidate. This one is half the price of a LAB12 (au$640).
Here's a swing in the dark... could the horn loading/sealed driver enclosure help make up for less than acceptable motor control?
Yes, you can all laugh.. :D

The Qes is way too high for horn loading.
