Tang Band W6-1721 6-1/2" Underhung Midbass Driver

Very high Quality Driver. Extremely Revealing Very Smooth sounding. This driver must be heard. Currently paired with the Tang Band 25-1719S Ceramic tweeter. Imaging and detail in music can be scary and very seductive. It is hard to get anything done when you don't want to stop listening.

This driver compliments TangBand's W4-1337SA by adding smooth, solid midbass/bass. I'm using a sealed enclosure which seems to allow more snap to its presentation. Ported, it plays low, but loses a bit of authority. I plan to use a subwoofer, so the W6-1721 will see life in the midbass/lower-midrange. It has excellent sound--very smooth, easy to listen to.

Truly high value and I'm glad to have found a reasonably priced mid-woofer fast enough to keep up with my Aurum Cantus G1s. Nothing like a big motor for acceleration! I had the milled baffles waiting thanks to reliable drawings. I broke them in with various input for 72 hours and let the games begin. The underhung suspension implementation and performance are a testament to this design approach. The result is a 6.5" mid-woofer with very low 2nd harmonic distortion, extended range and the ability to go flat to 40Hz in a reasonably sized enclosure (in-room & unequalized). I am well pleased with this product and I'll add it to my list of recommemdations from the TB product line.
What might I envision as a replacement for this fine product you ask? I'd sure like to hear this motor design with TB's Bamboo & Titanium cones. Beyond that, I'd pray for a stand-off between this underhung motor with Bamboo & Titanium cones against scaled up versions of TB's neodymium motor on their 4" Bamboo & Titanium drivers. Heard 'em? Gotta.
Until next time - Patrick.
