I'm gonna have to try at least one. It better be good for what it cost. I hope they make it in 4 ohm.

Appears to be several differences in the US Speaker specs and the ones Faital Pro posts.

Looks like a nice driver, but I wonder how the curved cone will hold up to high compression ratios.

My biggest concern is the LARGE open areas that trash can get directly into the voice coil gap-causing damage to the coil.
The openings (with no screens on them) are the largest I have seen on pro woofers.
Yes some HI-fi woofers have larger openings, but they are not as subject to trash as pro woofers are.

I never said it was a vented pole piece
The gaps are in he sides where the magnet attaches to the frayou can easily see through to the voice coil

I was not talking about all the faital drivers
We use several different ideals in our products
I was talking about the latest model with large Xmax
I'm not sure if the model as I am away from the office
In my limited testing it appears to work well. It is just the durability in harsh environments that I am concerned with
I was a reconer for over 15 years and know first hand what trash in the gap can do to a driver

DSL now includes abstract concepts in loudspeaker cabinets?
Custom orders must be exceptionally difficult - how do you address high-minded aspirations such as world peace now or end global economic inequality, alongside impressive sensitivity, high quality passive crossovers and exceptional pattern control - all via one box?
