RE: The best bass (below 100 Hz) you have heard

There are obviously different ways to measure woofers. The Thiel CS3.7 woofer measures 7.5-inches across the aluminum moving diaphragm. The hole in the half-inch thick aluminum front baffle is 9-inches in diameter and the speaker mounts to the inside face of the baffle. I suspect the frame of the raw driver might measure 10-inches across but it bolts to the inside of a 9-inch hole in the baffle. The bottom of the speaker enclosure is removable so the woofer and passive radiator can be installed from the inside.

Unfortunately, the Thiel CS3.7 speaker is no longer being manufactured. The people who bought out Thiel moved the factory headquarters from Lexington, KY to Nashville, TN and discontinued production of the CS3.7 speaker. It's really a shame because this is one of the best sounding speakers I have ever heard. I'm lucky to own them. I bought mine directly from the factory a few months before the company was sold.
