Not the magnet, but the entire inner construction of the loudspeaker. Everything that goes into moving the cone. The magnet is one part of it, yes, but so is the voice coil, the former, the spider, the suspension pieces, the tinsel, etc. And yes, transducer is a name for any device that converts energy from one type to another. A motor is simply a name for a specialized transducer designed to convert electricity into mechanical energy. A loudspeaker is a linear motor. TODAY'S LESSON A generator goes the other way (in audio, a microphone or a phono cartridge is a generator.)

DYohn, in your opinion would you say that these subs are a waste of money or would they be alright. I'm always looking for a good deal, but I'm not looking to waste money. And if you would please check out my other thread that I started titled "amp turning itself down". I would really like to hear your input on my problem. Thanks in advance. Thank everybody for their responses.

I suppose they have Sony-designed motor assemblies.

A waste of money? Well, that is a very relative question. How much money are we talking about? If they are indeed "based on" Adire's motor topology, then their design has a sound basis. But "based on" can mean a lot. Like in your previous post, a turbo Kia might use an engine "based on" a formula one design. But I wouldn't want to go racing in one. :) The only way to tell if the speaker you describe is any good is to listen to one and test it.

Well after talking to Steven at Adire in this thread, he said that they have the same basket but not the same motor tech. The 15's run $270 shipped, but there isn't any way for me to hear them since he said that company is out of business. The Brahma's are $439 and backordered for the 15".
