Those looking for the most esoteric and crazy woofer to hold down the bass in a speaker design should look no further than the ScanSpeak Ellipticor 38WE/8582T00. This 15" woofer has it all:

First of all, we have an Fs of 26hz, nice and low. On top of that, efficiency is high at 95db (2.83v/1m) so you can expect a system efficiency of around 89db if you only use one. 350W continuous, 600W max.

Most importantly, the voice coil is elliptical, having a major and minor diameter of 84/68mm (3.3" x 2.6"). The voice coil may be elliptical but the surround and frame are circular, meaning a whole host of resonances are eliminated. Magnet system is a series of neo magnets arranged in an ellipse.

Truly a special driver for those who want something different.
