RE: Good Experience with FMODs

Do you have a measurement of that "junk" to look at?

From what I understand, the woofer of the LFT-8b's is designed with high inductance, heavy cone, etc, etc, specifically to reduce radiation above the woofer region. Bruce claims the woofer (even without crossover) "begins to roll off above about 500Hz and has no usable output above 1khz. This allowed the crossover to be 6db per octave."

FMOD's are 12db/octave, yes? Those, in conjunction with the existing inductor, would seem to alter the bass/midrange transition in a substantial manner. In fact, theory says you should now reverse the polarity of the woofer to (sort of) compensate.
