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.

For you Mr Mozartfan, GR OB servo or a low cost DBA. Both are pretty darn easy to set up and they actually work. More the merrier..

I'm pretty sure an ear cleaning and a posted ear test is in order.. LOL

Voices mozartfan, "Nothing below 160" mercy what kind of music do you listen to? LOL I think even Cher get down there.. 

There is all kinds of music from 250 down.. 60 - 150 is BASS, 120-280 is MB and really directional. The issue I still have is vibration in the monitor cabinet..

80-300 is still hard to dampen in a cabinet, with mids and highs there too. Time alignment is impossible without separate cabinets (Mechanically) Sub frequencies 60< forget it. Not in my monitors cabinets.. or MB for that matter. BOTH are separate cabinets.

1. Subs GRs servo system
2. Band pass MB columns, direct coupled. NO passive XOs excellent cone control..
3. Monitors (split dipole) hybrid LS

All separate cabinets..  The best way I've found so far. IB MB columns and an OB servo sub system.. They work WELL in any room.. So far..
