John, I see where you go with it.

I afraid that I will not be making my drivers – I have no idea how to make them in order them to sound the way I need. I have no problem to design and to make 4" exit compression driver or to undertake a project to reengineer an existing crappy one (like Community M4) but I have absolutely no idea what TTH characteristics (Tonal-Transient-Harmonics composite balance) this project would lead to.  So, I would rather take advantage of what I have and what I know and capitalize upon what have a very good reference.

I need to say that the sound of Vitavox 151-10/40 drivers make me horny like nothing else. They are truly Stradivarius of mid-bass drivers. They are in a way similar to Altec 515G but Altecs have dry and purple-like tome vs. Vitavox is much warmer, much more most and witch much more sophisticated harmonics. The very first versions of Tannoys – Silver and Reds has some sort of that quality but Tannoys took it a bit further and flood sound with very lucrative colorations. The Vitavox in contrary is very smart and if necessary it can play clean and unprejudiced, in some cases it show some very fine tone and if it willing to do all the way down to the tonal firework then it opens own tail like a magic peacock, showing off what level of tonal nobility is possible in audio. If you find yourself to visit me I will let you just to scratch the cone of well-preserved 151-10/40 and you will have your multiple-orgasm… So, I truly would like to use THAT as the source. Now, how do not lose THAT in the compression and horn gain – that will be the dilemma.

What I need from you, or from anybody else, try to think how to load 15” driver into 6”-8” throat without building too much compression. I need to mention that I do not take out of accounts the option to go for side-positioned 15” throat and labyrinth loading…
