I use a pair of very dynamic Silverline Preludes (latest model) with two amazing 3.75" (I measured 'em) aluminum/magnesium woofers per speaker, and they sound great...I use a good sub but still, they somehow kick it. I informally (I may have been wearing shorts) measured them with a test CD and they woof down to the upper to mid 40s or so (hype/specs notwithstanding). Gigantic double magnets on each woofer, and although I haven't actually measured the "excursion", excurse they do!
Long throw 5 1/4 woofer??
I like very much my Totems Staff with a 5 1/4 woofer. The bass is very nice and deep (for a small woofer), however I wonder what do Totem Acoustic means by "long throw woofer". In their web site they do not list the x-max for this particular woofer. Any ideas about the x-max of this woofer?? Searching the web I found that the woofer is made in Poland (GDN 13/40/2) and in you tube there is a video where the woofer is feed some power so that its excursion is of about 3/8" one way!!! Can this little woofer handle safely an excursion of this magnitude?
