with respect to woofers that could be paired with the econowave, the 123a seems to have a significant bump in frequency response around 50-70hz or so in a common form factor (3.5cuft/35hz ported) while the le14-a in the same enclosure is pretty much flat down to 40hz. the 2226h in the same starts rolling off around 150hz and is down about 8db by 40hz. these are all 2pi space predictions from winisd.
i can see why the 2226h in a *passive* configuration might not be preferred. however, in an *active* configuration where about +8db parametric eq were applied in order to bring the bass response up, would sound quality suffer in any way? or, put another way, would a 2226h with eq sound better, worse, or the same to the 123a or the le14-a assuming that the net frequency response was made identical?
