I was wondering if anyone has any opinions on how the Electro Voice EVX-155 measures up to the JBL 2226. Spec and output wise they are both very similar according to their manufacturer data and WINISD simulations. Overall it seems that the JBL 2226 wins by a nose when it comes to output and distortion characteristics; though I'm sure the EVX-155 is a good part too. The reason I ask is because both seem to be at the top of the heap for quality woofers.

Wayne, I'm especially curious about your opinion here. I know you have very good reasons for choosing the parts you do for your different models. I know JBL has their Symmertical Field Geometry and Vented Gap Cooling as well as a shorting ring. EV uses something called HeatWick and a shorting ring as well. So why choose the JBL 2226; or I guess I should say why not the EVX-155?
