And, not just the actual woofers, but the size of our ELX cabinet is so small compared to the competition. Most consumers simply can't comprehend the fact that these small towers can sound so huge and have such impressive bass.
I think it’s excursion that people really don’t get. The total volume of air moved is (roughly) area times excursion, and I suspect people only think about the area part. Maybe you should post of video clip of the LX woofer cranking out near maximum excursion—it’s really quite a thing to watch. They really move an amazing amount of air. I still sometimes can’t believe the bass that the Sierra-LXs deliver.
I’m a bass player, and it’s no coincidence that one of the best sounding bass guitar cabs out there is the Phil Jones C8, which uses 5” drivers. Sure, it uses 8 of them, but that’s for volume. High-excursion drivers FTW!
