  • Phase plug reminds me of old Focal types. Cone reminds me of older Usher 8".

  • Looks nice.

  • I'm torn on the look of the cone, it's not really my style but I like the concept of interwoven carbon fibre and kevlar, and I like the inverted plug. Datasheet for the 6" that's available looks like a stellar response, very tame breakup and extended response so it will be a very easy driver to implement.

  • I like the look.

  • I'm not sure about the dustcap, looks kind of cheap. I'm interested in what they are going to be priced at - I'm guessing they will approach Scan Speak or Satori territory.

    I have a signature.

    You nailed it

  • Not fond of the look, but great HD and impressive Qms

    But Chahly - Stahkist don't want speakers that look good, Stahkist wants speakers that sound good!

    Although the WF182BD13-04- 7" interwoven cf/kevlar MW with 5mm x-max had exemplary measurements in the August edition of Voice Coil test bench...









    The cone's colour scheme is not attractive, IMHO:

    I'd buy black on black, or white on white.

    Driver prices keep going up and up.
    Makes Audio Technology seem affordable. (shudder)

    I was thinking of building a speaker for my kid’s e-drum kit; but it’s twice as costly as buying one off the shelf.

    Wonder when it’s time to punch out of DIY…

  • They could have at least tried for a Paisley pattern for the retro folks . . .
