Near perfect response with passive filter , nice drivers - well done guys :

Regarding the price - better buy something nearly perfect instead of wasting more money on mediocre drivers year after year and even more money on several cabs!
Crazy hobby - some like to torture themselves , pain must be fun to them
Who taught you such a luxury lifestyle?
But maybe all this expensive machinery in your garage or hobby room needs a justification?
regards , sawdust is our cocaine

Looks nice with the inverted surround. Now SB needs to make midbass/woofers with inverted surrounds to match.
I don't love that 5k spike on the response tho, especially for a midrange.
I wish SB published the raw data FRD/ZMA files like Wavecor and Dayton. I do quite like to play around with theoretical crossover designs to figure out how that upper mid crossover would look....

As long as the peak has good symmetry a good compensation could be easily achieved! Of course a good microphone will help .... to eliminate tolerances too!
Regarding tolerances - any published curve is just a snapshot in time , do not expect them to be cast in stone!
I think Dance Slickason will measure them soon in Voice Coil magazine! (www.audioxpress.com)
Who will be the first with close-up hot pix of these audio babes
waitin' ...
ps .. we could be thankfull for having such a wide variety of new quality transducers over the year after year! (can't wait for the next one)

A plan for how I would use it... and i have at least two other projects in the pipeline before I can commit to a new one using this driver.
I was one of the first to use the MW16TX-4 when it came out in 2020, and I posted performance and distortion data before it was available from other sources.

@Marveloudio - I already bought a bunch of Dayton Audio Signature Series drivers because you said they were great and all that I would ever need! Are you now saying I need to sell my Dayton's and buy the Satori's?
The short voice coil boosts the efficiency at the expense of Xmax and low frequency max SPL associated with Xmax. So that can be OK for a midrange, but it will limit the SPL at 160 Hz or so with 2.85 mm Xmax. Quoting peak to peak Xmax is the first marketing trick of hiding a small number. It would sure be good if they would publish distortion specs. It's a bit disappointing when companies won't report the one thing that separates the good drivers from the bad. I guess Marveloudio is a speaker dealer or had too much coffee this morning or something. It's a new driver, but the specs are not sufficient to say how good.
