Tang Band 8 vs DavidLouis VX8

OK
WB 101
Magnet important
Cone material more important

Magnets
Nd = Neo Dymium 
Fe = Ferrite
I much prefer Nd,,however as my tech reminds me, a  big Fe = a  smaller Nd = same reulst,, 
Maybe. But I personaly prefer Nd. = Pay more, worth the 2x's price??? Maybe not.
 Cone material
Paper
Treated paper
bamboo  Fiber
Wood Fiber (= Bamboo fiber??)

Calligraphy paper super thin as in Voxativ, No good, 
AER super thin, type?? Not sure,  wont say on site, 
All YOU need to know is  **Thin paper* not good for reproducing deep solid bass. 
Treated paper = very good

Bamboo Fiber as in TB 2145, read Bache's comment above =  winner
Wood  fiber (bamboo wood fiber??)
as in the DL VX6 and VX8, 
Not sure, as i am waiting any day for the speaker, DHL is behind  due to  plane shortage. 

6's usually superior highs at the slight expense of bass.
Mids good.
8's less highs , but superior bass, mids good. 

Db sensitivity, 91-95db sens.  Ideal. Dont need 96+ db, as you get a  too forward midrange = too  aggressive midrange. 
The TB 2145, 90db, For me this is perfect. I tend to believe a  lower db sens in WB's gives a  superior punch to bass. 89db too low, 
IDEALLY 90/91db for good solid bass. (could be wrong, waiting on the VX8 for confirmation on this theory)
The DLVX8 says 95db. We will see how this affects performance. Is this a  TRUE 95db sens? We will see.
The DL Yellow cone, /91db sens = accurate spec.

So we have
magnet material + weight of magnet
cone material
db sensitivity spec. 

WB 101 to be continued.... stay tuned.....

well I can tell you right now,. 
The big WB shootout will be 
DLVX8
vs
TB2145

Just a  hunch, tells me,,well i am not going to give  a hunch,,,best gun slinger wins..is how this will go down at 
The old  speaker OK Corral....
Gonna be bloody.
2 of the biggest baddest WB gunners in the ol west...

With a  Lil help from my friends,,

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....
