Scoops with dance music?

Hi all!

I saw the 21" project and i am pretty interested.
How does scoops work with this kind of musics (dance house electronic)?
I heard that they have a "slow" bass and they are good with reggie but not with dance, is it true?

Thanks all

I think this stems from people useing them up to 120hz or so, like a one way bass cab.  Sounds poo. Elephant & castle used to have a Scoop system, Sunday after Ministry, (scoops straight to 12's) that worked but it was more Garage than house, therefore not much kick.

So you guys are saying that with an EQ and high-cut filter at about 80Hz they work well?

Sorry but I don't understand english well, I'm Italian..
In a word can I have with a scoop a fast bass, without delays (good for music like dance, techno..) or is better a normal horn subwoofer?

The problem is that horn subs usually don't reach 30Hz like a scoop does, and i need that frequencies

So for you the 15" are better sounding than the 21"?

In general, it is considered that a bass speaker responds slower than a mid speaker for instance. On one hand this may seem strange because a speaker should only respond to signal, The problem is that a bass speaker with a large coil and a heavy cone has a lot of mass compared to a smaller speaker, and therefore it takes a bit more to push it up the hill. Bass speakers do redeem themselves slightly in horn loaded cabs, not because of the horn, but because of the small compression chamber that they are usually housed in. This has the effect of restricting movement through resistance and vacuum, and making the sound a bit more sharper.
