and Velodyne have high sensitivity subs, and no
better example than Strokers like 95-99 for the three models.

The next 2 I have not read anywhere that they are reknowed for their sonic
quality abilities,the Strokers are sold on producing pure SPL.

And what are the Velodynes known for?

However it looks like we will have to agree to differ as when it comes to
spending my money I will go for the sub with 89dB/W or less over and above
one that is higher, since from my time of building enclosures I remember
which ones always sound 'proper'.

What's the relation between sensitivity and "proper"? How does lower mean
better? What mechanism is responsible?

I rememeber a bass driver with a light uncontrolled cone will be peaky in
the freq response, distort easier under higher power inputs and as a natural
coincidence have an above 90dB/W sensitivty.
I must have just been real unlucky in the drivers that I have come across.

Who said it did unless you are reffering to sensitivty then see above.

What mechanism is responsible?

I don't know, but now how about you responding to the original posters
query? Perhaps he can then decide for himself which path he wishes to follow
after all neither of us have anything to gain or lose.

Why are you assuming that high sensitivities require a "light uncontrolled
cone"?

I already responded.
