What's the best 7" & 8" woofers available?

Well, I think The Scanspeak may do a little more in the extreme low end (Sub 30Hz), But that Seas is an absoultely sick driver all around. It can do midrange better than about 99% of all woofers out there, I have heard a 5 and 1/4 seas bass driver with a copper phaseplug/magnet. But like the scanspeak....It needs the good stuff behind it. (Scratches head)I didn't even think of the seas.....

Mike please explain your post a little further.."sick"??? the 4 1/2 inch is the one i may buy or the Skaaning 4 can you tell me about these 2 drivers..i've heard that the Skaans are of "old" tech and are way overpriced. Then i heard they are well worth it.??? Are the Skaans that much better than the Seas W12CY

Stick with the Seas... "sick"(as in really good) Sorry for the slang, You know what it's like getting all excited over these things... Heh heh. Well The Pro Ac Responce 1SC uses a verson of the w12cy. It has a clear poly-glass cone insted of the normal one. Same driver though, just different cone material. If you have time, for fun go to the scanspeak web site and check out their new concentric dome tweeter.
