Ok, now I am pretty confused haha.

The pair of speakers that really got me excited about the whole idea originally were made by a HiFi company in NZ called Parmeter Sound. However, I cant afford to pay $40K for them!

From what I can see he is using a TAD 1601a with a TAD 4001 driver and a custom passive crossover for claimed frequency response down to 28hz and overall 102db efficiency. He's using ultra expensive Duelund cast capacitors (that's like $3-4K in parts right there!) in the passive crossovers but other than that I think I can do something comparable within my budget.

I gather from people's responses here that the A7 is a far better choice but even the biggest A7 cabinet taps out at 40hz, which is a bit less than I would like. Also, would the 2" 4001 driver be a better choice vs a 2001 or 2002 driver? The 600hz crossover point may help a bit vs. the 800hz minimum for the 2001/2002. The 4001s can also be had much cheaper but I don't know how they compare sonically vs the 2001/2002 which I know sound excellent.
