Has anybody heard both of these drivers?
If I go for the LMS-Ultra, i’d like to have the cabinet built by either Funk Audio or a local woodworking service. I want to get the cab veneered in Brazilian Rosewood to match the speakers. If I go for the 18.0SE, i’d spring for the passive version as I already have an iNuke to power it. Price is not a factor since I estimate either route will come out to roughly the same amount. What’s the better option, taking into consideration these factors:
-It will be used strictly for music, maybe a movie on cable TV on occasion.
-It will be run on a 15amp line powered by either 1 channel of an iNuke 6000DSP or a bridged EP4000. I believe that equates to ~1,800-2000 watts. So the LMS-U will definitely be amp limited but I think it should still sound great for music at non-reference levels. I’m not sure how much power Funk’s TSAD driver can take but their powered version comes equipped with a 2400W amp, so i’m assuming the Behringers would be a nice match.
-I won’t be pushing it to extreme SPL’s. Again, it’s for 2 channel music and i’m limited to a 15amp line, plus I never dial the receiver past -16dB.
Every account i’ve read about the LMS-U has praised it for it’s super clean and tight reproduction of bass, especially when it comes to music. I haven’t read much about the TSAD18v1 but the data-bass charts for both drivers are nearly head-to-head and Funk subs in general seems to be very highly regarded. Has anybody heard these TSAD drivers and can comment on how they sound for music?
