I don't know if it's the exact same model, but doesn't Joseph Audio use these in the Perspective?
Graphene, of course, is a whole other story.

SEAS Excel Magnesium Midwoofer 51/2 inches ROCK SOLID BASS
I wrote about this phenomenon in a recent thread:
Just read through some of your excellent spot on research,, My findings are indenpent and thought i was the only one here who is bringing awareness of this revelation,, = That big is not always better and in this particular case, big is NOT superior. In fact worse in most ideal listing rooms size. The Sacnspeak Revelator says 7 incjh,,,but from rubber surround edge to edge its as the SEAS Excel 7 inch, 5 1/5 inch. I have no doubt in the lower bass fq's the Revelator may surpass the Excel,,,but then in other higher fq's , I am not so sure for MY personal preferences. That revelator is one heck of a midbass no doubt. So gald you have made these observations public and thereby bringing enlightening EDU nto us audiophiles which , as you know can be easily persuaded into thinking we really needa 8 inch woofer. We don't, The 5 1/5 inchmidwoofer is not only odeal, but is absolutely perfection in reproducing true super high fidelity bass. 8 inch woofer may be acceptable,, but when compared next toa 7 incj, the altter will always win out.,,,,, 10 inch is obsolete in most listening enviornments. This Bifrost offers a 8 inch midwoofer and is paired with the SEAS Flagship Cresendo,,But is the Nextel 8 superior to the Excel 7 ?? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEQnG1EQCk4 I have this same Jacnitha cd, and will upload a YT vid and post it here,, you tell me which mid is superior,,keep in mind this Bifrost has far superior mic vs my Sony. The Bifrost sounds warmer, = if warmer is your thing, maybe the Bifrost is your choice,,But then how are the other components voicing the muisc?? Hard to determine. |
While I think that it is good to let audiophiles know how much bass these modest mid-woofers can produce, it’s also not fair to claim it is the only way to go. In modest living rooms, when not seeking concert level rock output these systems can be the best balanced, simplest alternatives. At the same time, for dynamic range and deep frequencies it is also true that nothing beats surface area and displacement. The issue is the balance of the speaker to the room, and how the audiophile will deal with the issues as they come up. I am by no means against subwoofers, or big drivers at all. I do think however that trying to use speakers that go down to 20 Hz in an anechoic is a terrible idea in the wrong room and can ruin an otherwise superb experience, much like The Cheesecake Factory has ruined cheesecake with too many extras.
