The 8c isn't for me either @daytrader; no digital, thank you very much!
But there's a better alternative anyway: a pair of the OB/Dipole Servo-Feedback woofer system that Rythmik Audio and GR Research developed and market together. While the new ET "c" woofer is a dipole, that is all it has in common with the Rythmik/GRR woofer. It contains 2 or 3 (your choice) 12" woofers mounted in an open baffle frame. Unlike "normal" subs, it plays up to 300Hz. That enables one to use it in place of the stock LFT-8b woofer! Just leave the stock woofer disconnected (easy as it was it's own binding post). The plate amp that comes with the kit (yes, you have to build it, or have one of Danny Richie's cabinet makes do it for you. For a price, of course) has the most extensive range of controls on the market, including the option of a 180Hz 1st-order low pass filter, to exactly duplicate the filter used with the stock woofer.
And it's 100% analogue!
