[QUOTE="Vaughan, post: 38774, member: 693"] Well, the Whalfdale sub uses a larger cabinet featuring a 15 inch woofer cone (apparently 24 mm p-p displacement) so it wouldn't surprise me if it laid waste to your other options in terms of overall swept displacement. The cabinet also has a major weight advantage to the other options listed at 70 pounds (over 32 kg's) which would infer better build, better rigidity, etc. One nice advantage of a sealed design is it's shallow roll off profile below resonance. Since roll off is relatively early but shallow (12 dB/octave roll-off slope below resonance) when matched with the transfer function of a room could yield very deep bass performance.
