Re: new TB fullranger
Looks like a great candidate for one of Martins' MLTL enclosures. @91db it isn't very efficient but would probably work well in smaller, more intimate listenting enviornments. The SPL curve looks fairly flat without any huge rising responses until above 10KHz. The xmax number or 5mm is a bit worrysome. At higher excursions I would expect to hear some inter-modulation distortion in the mids and upper mids while the cone is moving its full travel. I wonder what they are priced at.
Best wishes

Re: new TB fullranger
I'd buy those! I love the TB 1808 and expect this to be a smaller variety of it. 91 db is about what to expect with this size in my experience. My 6.5" Fostex 168s is rated at 94db but sounds about as efficient as the 91db rated Pioneer B20... which i understand is really more like 89db per watt. The Fostex 165k is rated at 95db but sounds about the same as the 168s to me...

Ole boy, official dB ratings are like bikinis - they show a lot but hide what you´re really interested in.
Bass drivers are measured at 400Hz, so the 15" Isophon does measly 90dB - up to 150Hz, where you want it to perform, you get 98.
This is not meant as incentive to rip the bikini off your neighbor´s daughter - Mrs. Godzilla might mind.
