Yeah, they're super rad. I just can't see a manufacturer taking a 3D printed waveguide to heart, and it makes me think they're assuming worst practices. If they made a tweeter/waveguide series to match their woofers I'd be more inclined to take that to heart, certainly. I'm not impressed by their OEM implementations with third-party AMTs, however.

The surround of pro sound woofers are not paper. They are usually multi-rolled polycotton, developed for driver surround.
Exactly why I'm more excited about potential future purifi 10 or 12" woofers, or high efficiency woofers... for me the perfect ultra high performance 3" midrange dome already exists, BlieSMa M74B-6, first 3" beryllium dome since Yamaha NS1000M, that makes 2 total in existence.
This and their CVD diamond tweeter (never seen off axis so clean) really makes me want to start a journey towards KH420 clone but with sota drivers and sota amps for every driver.
I have not compare hard enough between purifi 6.5 and 8 inch, but first glance made me think the distortion at bass is not impressive compare to 6.5 inch. The high frequency is not as clean as well. The price is a big step up at 640. I doubt any company will use this driver in a commercial way, of course doesn't apply to diy cause they just want it.....
If you haven't looked hard how did you make these conclusions?
A bigger driver will have lower distortion at lower frequencies and not have as much clean extension at the high frequencies. That's just how it is.
Funny thing to say when this driver still beats anything commercially available in the same size (if your goal is not high sensitivity)
Hi. What are your project with this ?
The rationale for this decision was discussed in great detail in this thread: (page 17; post #333 for the next several pages). Just FYI!

Sounds like a typical high-end audio voodoo... But thats what this fuss is all about, cable and torque.

Did they (T/S) model good for that?
Yup. IB applications love xmax, and there're no other driver better (that I know of) than the Purifi for clean excursion.
Plus, it's a fully active system with a DSP crossed over at least an octave higher than Fs.
@changster so the ScanSpeak wu18 was also modelled?
Yes. I've also modeled a bunch of others. In the end, you can't really model the car's transfer function. Well you can but it's not worth the trouble. Just gotta try it and see. Currently in the car as midbass drivers are the Focal Utopia 8WM also in IB.
Noted; I think it's a shame but I believe Amir's position is reasonable.The rationale for this decision was discussed in great detail in this thread: (page 17; post #333 for the next several pages). Just FYI!
