Got my little hands on the Purifi 10"s

[ZestClub]

I think Vance Dickason liked it.

"After testing some 5000+ speakers, I am rarely impressed by a new woofer. The Purifi 10” is the exception. I think this might be the best woofer I have ever tested."

He is going to be over the moon then when the 12" Purifi comes out.

With 2500w of power, this could be the subwoofer to beat

Meet the Dali V-16 F. We think you'll get on.

Looks like purifi did a 16" driver.

Either that or they licensed the surround tech for their own driver. At $6K this thing better deliver bass clean enough to use in heart surgery.

DALI Speakers Launches New Flagship V-16 F 16" Subwoofer

DALI's new flagship V-16 F is an absolute beast with a 16" driver, a 1,500-watt amplifier, and quadrupole ports. DALI has gone to great lengths to ensure that fidelity is not sacrificed for output.

It isn’t so surprising to see CSS technologies deployed by DALI, since DALI was founded by Peter Lyngdorf, who also co-founded Purifi Audio.

But who knows… maybe we’ll see some larger Drivers come out from Purifi… start saving now!

Once I am happy I will get the horn cabinet made which will sit on top of the ptt10. Compression driver is ND1480BE also very low distortion, ptt10 distortion being the lowest of this type of woofer in the world. The super low distortion makes vocals and Speach the cleanest I have heard, this is listening to them straight after a session with kef blade which are great but the dynamic range here is on another level.

Which make/model horn is that you're using with the ND1480Be driver?

Where are you crossing with that ?? inch woofer? Please describe the mid and high sound you're getting.

Horn is 18sound XT1464. You can also use the faital Lth142 if your not going too loud as the inner throat is congested but has a better exit transition. Given the choice again I would use the faital horn.

Crossing at 950hz lr48. Can also use lr24 but needs some peq.

This is a 10" woofer.

It's extremely dynamic the mids are covered really well and treble is excellent.

Joseph has reviewed the compression driver here and I agree with him.
