Re: The perfect IB driver...


Carlos

The deafening silence following your post leaves me wanting more.

I have seen your website videos several times and marvel at your beautiful products, their construction and claimed perfomance.

But I have to ask what specific advantages would there be to buying your drivers for IB use?

Until recently it was quite possible to buy 8 quite modest 15" drivers for the price of one of yours. (AE IB15, PE IB15)

While nobody is suggesting for a moment that these modestly priced drivers are any better than their specs allow at their price point, they do manage the job of IB drivers well enough when used in suitable quantities.

For the benefit of those who do not share your expertise please explain why we should use your "Aston Martin" of drivers rather than our base models in our IBs?

Would one 15" of yours best 8 of "ours" in a typical IB installation?

If not, then how many of your 15" drivers would we need to match 4 or 8 of ours?

It is not even a matter of space requirements since most IB builders hide their drivers away in a manifold as if they were ashamed of them.

So 8 hidden drivers behind a neat screen covering a hole in the ceiling or floor is neither here nor there.

How would distortion levels and noise for your drivers in an IB compare to 4 or 8 of "ours"?

Please don't think I'm attacking you or your products. If I can use one of yours to 8 of mine to achieve the same SPLs at even lower distortion levels then that would be truly excellent value. Being an ignorant cynic I doubt this is really the case.

Regards
Chris
