My B&W805S stand-mounts are themselves a hybrid 2-way design with transmission line loading on the tweeter (which doesn't need to be very long when the crossover is at 3kHz - that's precisely what the tweeter "pod" on the top is... ) & reflex loading on the squawker/woofer (in a VERY heavily braced & artfully-shaped enclosure - NO parallel sides... ). However my B&W PV1 subwoofers are a sealed infinite baffle design, with long-throw 8" opposed aluminium-mica composite drivers. The drivers are very light, but rigid enough to resist any cone break-up - with 2 of them (wired in stereo to help reduce modal resonances in my listening room, which is approximately 14' square & a TOTAL concrete box, breeze block/actual brick inner walls & concrete floor with beam & concrete ceiling - it certainly wouldn't make a good recording studio, lol) I have the equivalent of a single 16" driver, but without the overhang (owing to moving mass) or cone break-up (owing to the sheer size of the radiating surface) & the result is VERY musical low bass. If your room is huge, & 1000W isn't enough for you get 4! They are now quite a bargain s/hand, B&W service is cheap & exemplary should you need it & the things actually LOOK quite sexy to boot - choice of silver, black or white, dependent upon your décor & of course your indulgent better half's preference! Nothing more to add (for once!) - try it & see for yourself. You can flog them on for the SAME price if they really don't ring your bell...
