No, as we all know a FR has its limitations.
There is no denying that. Field Coils may over come all the issues, I have no idea. I have to work with what i have.
So lets forget FC’s for the moment.
We already have superior bass in the Thors W18’s these are not the EX,001 only the entry model E001.
Had I swaped out a E001 for say a EX001 or a Graphene, may not have made more than a ~nuance~
I’m looking for a real modification.
So my research tonight has brought us to
The Real Deal.
That is Seas newest W18 driver, the Nextel 003 which replaces the Nextel 001.
The 003 has a titanium voice coil and a larger magnet.
2x’s the price of the 001, but worth it.
Troels has nothing but the highest praise for the driver.
Thing is, its so new hard to find a dealer.
Found one in the UK, ,,, will conatct madisound tomorrow, I’m sure it will bea special order, so means wait time and ship fees.
I’m in no hurry as i don’t have $800 cash right now, that went in the Thors upgrades.
Glad my time spent researching tonight, about 4 hours, brought me to the W18NX003.
here is what led me to this speaker. Richard Gray mentioned his favorite material for woofers is the humblev ~Paper cone~, I tend to agree, So knowing the Nextel does in fact have a treated paper cone, I made further research into the Nextel.
By mere chance I ran across a article from partsexpress / report in Dec last year on the newest Nextel design,
The W18NX003.
From there I went to Troels page where he has very wonder-ful things to say about its build and performance.
