Based upon my understanding of the GSC member listening priorities, I believe that this transducer would be very agreeable.

 I wonder what in this driver tells you that it would be good for "GSC member listening priorities". Also, would yiu be so kind to explain what those priorities are in your view?

In my view, GSC member listening priorities are as follows:
- Ability to communicate subtle artifacts
- Authoritative transient
- Liquid flow

- Qms/Qes ratio 
- BL/MMs
- Cms/MMs
- Vas/Sd

Well, I have a different take
NBC, I’m sorry, but you’re way off.

First, there is no GSC “community” with predefined listening priorities. Everyone operates independently, and that’s exactly how it should be in a field like audio.

Second, what you’re doing isn’t really about audio—at least not in the way I understand it. You’re evaluating various pieces of equipment and scattered ideas without understanding the purpose of listening, the methods involved, the expressive intent, the criteria for success or failure, or the overall experiential workflow behind the listening process. Then you take a list of unrelated products and people, group them together, and assume they’re relevant just because they loosely align with audio. It’s like buying guns, fishing rods, or non-magnetic screwdrivers instead of speaker drivers—they’re equally irrelevant to practicing audio - and to claim that you're fishing rods have audio value.

NBC, my site is not Rob Report, and it’s not the idiotic “what’s the best.com” with a community of a clearly diagnosable morons. People who don’t understand what they’re doing and are trying forcefully interact with the subject bring no value to me.

Don’t chase this. What all those people do in audio is   mostly a self-serving perpose—a psychological projection wrapped in shallow virtue signaling, often coming from people who lack even basic self-awareness and introspection.

Please.
Pease don’t present your assumptions about others’ listening priorities as a basis for giving recommendations—especially to people who didn’t ask for them. You’re free to share your own ideas, but they should stand on their own, not be framed as what others need, think, or feel. This site is not a collective voice, and it shouldn’t be used to project generalized conclusions about users.

The issue isn’t whether your recommendations are good or bad—it’s that you’re positioning them as if they align with specific technical listening objectives, which requires a level of understanding you simply don’t have. I’m not saying that to be hostile, just accurate.

And I definitely don’t want someone coming here and thinking that because they read something, they now “need” to go buy some completely arbitrary thing—whether that’s drivers, cables, or an anal extender—just because it was presented with misplaced authority. That kind of framing is exactly what I want to avoid.

So please keep your recommendations clearly personal, and don’t use me or my site as a vehicle for broader claims or implied consensus.

Gotcha Romy,

Anyways, here is an extremely high resolution subwoofer well-suited for horn use. I have dozens-and-dozens of (unknown to USA-Audiophiles/Corporations) offshore companies in my Rolodex, resulting in a henpecked-list of Thousands of *unknown* ultra-high resolution transducers.
