The demos provided by Ang3Ius seem representative of it.
See EV's SRO info sheet attached.
Note the 19lbs weight and 103dB/W sensitivity!
Compared to the WGS Blackhawk's 9 lbs and 99dB/W, which looks to make the Blackhawk more of a rival to the Celestion Cream http://celestion.com/product/151/Celestion_Cream/
Their magnet structures seem tiny compared to that of the SRO.
Good point about the sensitivity. You would hear that.
I have a 10" in a small closed cab. I built it to use as a satellite speaker for whatever use but it has been on my bench for years testing amp repairs. At 150 watts it handles anything, sounds decent and doesn't get in the way! Also, I turn it upside down and cover with a blanket and it is a great burn-in tool for new amps.
The 'engineering data' sheet for the SRO/12 indicates 60 W continuous sine wave, 150 W 'pulsed program', 300 W peak.
I think it would be a bad idea to crank a eg 100 W tube amp into just one of them. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzZK4L ... sp=sharing
