I noticed his driver is on sale. (I was actually looking at the 8" version originally but that one is not currently on sale.)

reg $219ea
today $170ea
I am shopping for some new drivers to play with and was wondering if anyone here has some objective and subjective experience with the driver. I am currently cross shopping this and the $80each Sb Acoustics ceramic 5".

Even on sale the Dayton is fairly pricey.
I do like the look and the Audioxpress test looks promising https://audioxpress.com/article/test-bench-dayton-audio-epique-e160cf-8-midbass-driver
I will be using whatever driver I buy from 150-175ish on up to the tweeter (1.5-2.5k) so low distortion in the midbass is excellent news but ultimate low end is not a factor. Composure/low distortion and high volume (90-105db) with music is important.
I guess I am just fishing for some conversation about the unit, I generally don't buy drivers this size than run over $100ea and this would be an indulgence.
