Hi!
I am still serching for the best drivers for the HD 15. At www.thomann.de you can get PD154, PD156 and PD158 for the same price (198 Euro). When I search the forum everyone seems to use different drivers. 156 and 158 can handle more power but 154 have better sensitivity. I need some serious advice...

I'd say go for the sensitivity.

You'll be wanting to put between 1-2k into each pair and even with only 1K they're bloody loud with the PD154.

I think you need to look at what power you have available and then decide.  If you don't need the extra power handling in the drivers then the HD15 is the one.

I'm sure if any of the others had been better suited in the box then Rog would have spec'ed it on the the plan.  Don't forget its not just sensitivity and power handling that matters here

Yep and Xmax[more x max = less distortion as vc stays in gap] and BL [motor strength] so a higher BL, the bass is tighter, a lower BL the bass is looser and more boomy.
