I agree with poster jheppe815 on the JBL subs. I use two JBL B460 18'' subwoofers crossed over @ 50 Hz from the mains. It's eargasmic!
Best sub for music,
Not HT, repeat not the boomboomboom of HT effects. which does not offer the high fidelity of musical sub bass (20hz-40hz)
I'd have to go with the seas W26E001. which has a magnesium/aluminum cone.
What that raitio is, not sure, seems 50/50.
None of us here like the sound of those old aluminum cones. But my guess is Seas had to incorporate some alumium inorder to gain the 20-30hz and also mabe keep costs down.
This YT vid says **Aluminum cone** which is confusing YTers.
Its a composite, and perhaps the best ture woofer on the market.
Been around for ages, still hard to beat for pure natural low mids. .
Magesium is the best material to keep unwanted resonances out in the 60-1k range, very low/hardly measurable distortion.
The issue here tops out at 1k, so its really a sub.
This woofer may be a good candidate to pair with a 5 inch wide band.

@jheppe815, Hi, I run the JBL B460's with a Crown studio reference 1 amp which runs on a dedicated 240 volt 30 amp circuit. IMHO: The Crown studio reference 1 amp is the best sounding amp Crown makes. All the power you will ever need in a home hi fi rig. Also the B460's have an efficiency of 2.6%, same efficiency as my main speakers. The subs and the mains have a sensitivity of 96 dB @ 1 watt two meters, so they are a good match. I run the main speakers with a pair of Quicksilver silver 60 mono block tube amps. The system sounds effortless. https://technicalaudio.com/pdf/Crown_International/Crown_Studio_Reference_Series_Manual.pdf |
