In what BW? The Seismic 8196 (Aura 1808) is a killer up to ~250Hz. One of these fills a small theater, and two knocks the walls down, with a pricetag to match. Altec's 3182/3184 would do 500Hz/4th order. They needed to be bi-amped with HF horns though due to so-so efficiency, and cabs are large, 24ft^3 and 12ft^3 respectively. The 8196 OTOH can get by in 10ft^3.
