Eminence has stated that they are interested in making an improved 12" subwoofer based on their Magnum technology. This offers significantly lower distortion by virtue of the flux control ring and other improvements. The truly exciting news is that they have said they expect the price of this high-fidelity MAG12 will only be about $25.00 more than the LAB12. If there is enough interest to make a production run of 100 or more, this product will become a reality.The woofer is intented specifically as a low distortion subwoofer, suitable for use a variety of cabinets, including the LABhorn. The proposed target specifications make it suitable for use as a direct radiator, bandpass or horn subwoofer. The simplest implementation is a 2ft3 to 5ft3 vented box tuned to 20Hz. It's most common implementation is likely a low-distortion, high-fidelity drive unit for the LABhorn, or other suitable bass horn.
I'll provide a head count to Eminence to give them an idea of interest in this improved MAG12 subwoofer. So please write to me if you are interested in this and I'll pass the word.
