Eminence Beta 15/12

[unknownuser]

I have a 440 Liter cabinet. I want to put 2 woofers in it for a 3-way speaker system used for listening to music CDs in a small room. I am leaning toward the Beta 15 in a sealed cabinet for cleaner sound and better bass, which is important to me. But am considering the Beta 12 in a ported cabinet for better midrange due to several things including: lower Le, curved cone, smaller size,lower mass. Does anybody have suggestions or other options for low cost, high efficiency and good sound, or experience with either woofer?

In 400 liters net a Beta 12 ported has an f3 at 28 Hz,a Beta 15 sealed has an f3 of 45 Hz, not much competition there. I wouldn't use two though.
