With a  Lil help from my friends,, 
Joe Cocker
WoodStock, 69

Yeah you really saved mea  head ache.. 
Based on my exp of the Vox **pill** neo dymium magnet system,,I had a  hunch the 1880/1772  same pill thingy,,might not give up the goods, as per my DL seller as well : Confirmed.
Your  thumbs down , double confirm
AND you gave thumbs up to the 2145 which i had serious considerations. 

Just waiting for the DLVX8 to arrive , so I can ck quality on bass/mids/highs., 
If all are top dawgs,, I may hold off on the TB 2145,,,but I doubt it,,  ,,for $250,, the TB might beat out the DL Yellow cone .
This would mean the DL6 Yellow cone goes on ebay 70% off/free ship and the TB2145 stays with the DLVX8. 
Gonna run dual WBers per channel. 
Thats 4 wide banders,  fora  huge soundstange... gain on vol will have to be no more than 8!!!!!!!!! Oclock,, = using no more than say 10 of the Defy7's  solid 100 watts.
Has 12 KT88's //////for dual WBers + 4 W18E001's. 
10 watts!!!!!
Gonna sound like a  rock concert style sound. 
I really need a  20x20 listening room to accomadate dual WB's. 
Considering both will be the big boys, The 8's. 

Just arrived DHL/China 6 day ship
WOW
The wood (bamboo wood?) cone has punch with finger tap, = Got bass.
Hows mids/highs,, we will find out in 30 minutes,  just loaded in a  temp cabinety, Vid comming in 30 minutes.
'Huge magnet . Nd? 
Not sure  waiting on seller to respond. 
His VX6 says **Nd*  but no mention of Fe or Nd on the VX8. 
I mean this driver is extremely well constructed.  Someone in china knows how to build a  WD.. 
But can he make it sing..??
This we will all find out in 30 minutes,,,,see you then... speakers are all hooked up ready to go...be right back....

hummm, just uploadeda  vid,, delete post,, hummm, Not going to work out. 
The VX8 does not offer enough highs. 
Seems the best way to worka  WBer is 
a  5 or 6 inch + any bass,mid bass/woofer of your choice. 
The WBer 8's offer bass, but highs are rolled off = not good. 
Listen to this video,, 
Whats going on here is doubling the midrange, and crushing out the highs.
IOW its all out of balance.

I have the TBW82145 arriving. 
If it beats out the DLVX8, and the DL Yellow cone,, Then i will sell off the 2 DL's and keep the TBW82145
1 of the 3 will stay,
2 will be sold off.
The only way to work a  WBer is
woofer of your choice. 
+ Tweeter of your choice, and a  5 or 6 inch WBer.
At least this is my preliminary testing of the 8.
I have no idea the performance of the TBW82145.
I have serious doubts it has highs.. 
But as i say that guess might be off the mark as the TBW82145 boasts a  new aluminum type phase plug which increases the high fq's. 
we will see..or better listen...
 1 of the 3 stay.
If I keep the DLVX8 , i will needa  2nd tweeter, maybe/maybe not,,maybe dual Kasun 3.5 paper double magnet  91 db tweets??? Possible.
Or the  Seas T35. Possible.

As I say, this video shows its wayyy too midrange heavy and crushes out the highs from the DL Yellow cone 6 + Kasun paper tweet.

Dual WBers will not work.
