Is this a good sounding woofer, in your opinion?Perry Mason talking to his dentist:

I am considering a stepped baffle, making the mid and the woofer coming out 19 mm and crossing tw/mid 1st order at 3000 Hz.

Did a re-fit of an old vintage 2-way with the RS225-8 and the RS28F crossed at around 1500Hz. Stunned at how good they sounded. Great woofer.R = h/(2*pi*m*c) and don't you forget it! || Periodic Table as redrawn by Marshall Freerks and Ignatius Schumacher || King Crimson Radio

I have a pair of the paper-cone versions in a 78L cabinet tuned to 32 Hz and they sound absolutely wonderful. They are crossed a littler lower though, right around 180 Hz to an RS180P-4. I imagine the aluminum version being comparable in performance. But they can put out some serious bass, not subwoofer bass, but nice, clean, well-defined low end, perfect for music. I'm not sure where the upper limit on these would be though, since I don't use them up very high, but for a bass driver they are quite nice.

We wound up with LR4 on tweeter and woofer. 12uF and 2.2 Ohm in series with the tweeter (+) and .25mH shunt
2.2mH, 18uF + 1.5 Ohm shunt, and .8mH input to the woofer (+)

I'll see if I can have my buddy Otto send me some pics of the final product, but picture sparkly black grill cloth over dark walnut boxes and you'll have a good idea. Lots of diffraction to deal with in the enclosure that shows up in the tweeter response plot.

I crossed a parallel pair over to the RS52, 2nd order (sort of... it's a Duelund crossover) at around 600 hz in my Trilliums. I can't recall how I have them tuned, but the cabinets are around 75 liters. I have a few recordings that they can't keep up with, such as the Mercury Living Presence Firebird and the Reference Recordings Fiesta, but those really require a subwoofer. I'm completely happy with them.

Hello,
and thanks for all the feedback.
I am now convinced that the RS225-8 is the right woofer for me.
Now, you cunning DIY-ers, used to this woofer, what do you think?
I have in my inventory a pair of Dayton RS52AN-8 mids. Is this a better choise than the existing SS 13M/8640, given the new woofers in the system you can see on the pictures in the OP?
