[QUOTE="Joris Wijgerde, post: 213623, member: 13728"] Time for a quick follow up. I recently built a cabinet to try out this setup with some pretty good results. The BMS horn loads low enough and both on- and off axis response were good throughout the xo region (crossed at 600Hz). I compared this to a cabinet with 10" drivers and a dedicated bass section, and actually prefer having less x-over points. Now I'm thinking about going down this route, and since the investment is pretty big I might as well do it the right way. I decided I'll sell the 15" Eminence woofers and look for a better option since I'll be needing more than 4 pieces anyway. I had a look at the Faitalpro 1060 you are using but don't have any experience with this brand. I have been looking at the B&C 15nbx100 (226 euro) and the Precision Devices pd158 (218 euro). Both look like they'll pack quite the punch and the FR looks good up to the xo point, however I'm a bit worried about the midrange clarity. Any advice on what to keep in mind when looking for a suitable driver? Any other suggestions (RCF mb15n351 or B&C 15nw76 for example)? I don't have experience with using a heavier driver like that for (lower) midrange. An important piece of info is that I'm planning to use these with subs, so 90hz and up, but since we play mostly EDM it's important that the upper bass isn't lacking. [/QUOTE]
