For that starting price I would expect to be looking at the SUPER LMT, which that sub up for auction is clearly not. Alas to each his own. The SUPER LMT is capable of 45mm one-way linear excursion. (for those not in the know) As for the new subs that will be using the lmt technology? Can or will they be better than the older prototypes? (since the same designer who built the protoypes does/did not have a hand in the "new" subs that will be using the lmt technology) Only time will tell. |

Gold Member Username: Jonathan_fGA USA Post Number: 4208 Registered: May-04 | The flatcone EDs had a lot of problems, but it's just hard to make a flatcone sub. Voice coil issues mainly. I wouldn't want a sub with 45mm worth of X-max, translates to inductance like a Mofo and a bunch of moving mass from the long coil. Would be fun to watch, though . LMT already adds a good bit of inductance as is. Anyway, if you want that sub, it will boil down to if you want function or function in a package that is unique and owned by very few people. If you want something cool, that sub may be for you. |

Silver Member Username: Mikechec9Chicago/atlanta Post Number: 374 Registered: May-05 | yeah, i heard one person who has completely disowned ed because of an experience he had with the flat piston (e12A.22 12" i believe). i would have thought that the adjusting of the VC and suspension fixed the fat cone issue. the sub got rave reviews by tom nousaine that prompted me to find one. but by the time i looked, they stopped making them (now i know why. but they sure looked a bunch better than the V.2's). but i agree, i would attribute the failure to the flat cone vs just TC. i'm impressed with the Rl's they produce. |

Gold Member Username: Jonathan_fGA USA Post Number: 4209 Registered: May-04 | What's funny is that it always seemed to be the 12A that had the most problems, you didn't hear a lot of issues with the 10 and 15" models. There is a review on caraudiocentral that showed pictures of the failure that happened to him, it turned out to be the voice coil former, the seam of the former (which was aluminum) began to unravel, then scrape against the magnet structure (making it unravel more) until it eventually led to the wire falling out, leading to either a short or an open circuit. I wouldn't pin it on TC, they do build excellent motors and subwoofers. |

Oh yeah here is a link to the video of it in action with about 2k plus watts in a 2.5 cube sealed enclosure(for those of you who had not seen it before)http://www.realmofexcursion.com/videos/TC%20Sounds/lmt15.1.wmv. |
