Yes , those are 8 pcs. Neo8 and 18 pcs 6.5 midbass per speaker..These are cheap midbass made here in the Philiipines at $5 each.It was supposed to be an upgrade to my previous array using 9 pcs of Focal 5K013l 5inch bassmid in a close back array. The closed back sounded better. I could not make it sound right even with a DCX x’over until I reduced the negative going signal to the midbass. The difference is night & day. The sound became natural ,coherent and,life like and very detailed and effortless. I suspected that the asymmetrical shape of the cone causes some distortion. I tried applying this sound processing which limits the negative going signal. I tried this before with the focals before but the effect is good but not that big. Maybe with the no. of the bassmid in an open back configuration made the effect even more pronounced. The difference now is so big that would make keep this speakers. I am also thinking of making an open back array using 8 pcs of 12 in woofers and apply the same sound processing.Thanks
