The ET is no doubt bad... but it doesn't have XBL^2, or a Nomex Piston. :)

Go with the Brahma. I mean, damn, the thing's Xmax is obscene. The truly amazing part is that it's linear for the range they give. Very few subs get near that Xmax at all, even non-linearly. The other nice thing about the Brahma is there's room to upgrade. If you want more sound, you only need a new amp, not a new driver as well.

I vote for Adire, but the Ea does look better.

It's desk furniture at the moment, until I decide what I want to do with it.
