The druid claims 35Hz-30kHz, 101dB W/M. And all that in a cabinet that can't have more than 1.5 ft^3 interior volume or so.....Drivers stating f3 of 50Hz on an infinite baffle w/101dB is very different than a slender cabinet claiming that. To achieve that with a cabinet, you need either a very large bass reflex or a horn. For perspective- a 96dB speaker in a vented box tuned to 35Hz would give you a cabinet of about 7-8 cubic feet, in general. Double the efficiency (3dB), double the cabinet size..... so we're up to about 15..... and we're still 2dB shy of what zu is claiming so let's let them have that to allow for room gain and whatnot. Never mind that none of this takes radiation into fullspace into account....
So giving them the benefit of the doubt, they're 10x off on cabinet size according to conventional limitations of the iron law.
