The pro has longer voice coil (26mm vs 18mm) so higher xmax and greater bass control at high excursion

No. Fane is way way above of the similar priced Eminance (in terms of musicality, frequency response and cone quality). In the pro entry level stuff, no one is close to Fane now. Kudos to Mark and his team PS: I have compared Kappa 15LFA vs Sov 15-600LF and Kappa Pro 15LF2 vs Sov Pro 15-600LF. Edited by ArthurG - 26 May 2010 at 3:39am |

I have just been building some 15" bandpass horns and had the opportunity to test the Sov Pro 15-500LF against the Eminence Kappa Pro 15LF and also an old ME15-300B. The Sovereign sounded a lot better to my ears, clearer and more purposeful. It also feels and looks lot better built.
I told the client this and he's mildly annoyed that the new driver beats his old ones...cos now he feels like he has to pay for the Fanes!

The general consensus seems to be that HD15 drivers should have a minimum X-Max of 5.5mm. The sovereign 15-600LF qualifies on that basis but the Pro version is 6.9mm so would presumably be better.

The sims I have done for HD15s, clearly show Sovereign Pro 15-500 to have smoother, flatter response than either Sov Pro 15-600LF or PD154. Which is why I swapped back 2x of my new Pro 15-600LFs for 2x Pro 15-500. Will do the comparison this week or next, and report back. |
