Power handling is meaningless. There are big horn loaded subs that can go louder than a B4 with less than 10watts of power. Mind you they are many many times the size of a B4.So if power is meaningless, whay have a sub that can handle 2400 watts? Just for bragging rights?
In the B-4's price range, I don't think it can be touched, but I'm sure there is something out there (Wilson Audio) that will handle the power and probally more.Actually it can be touched for about the same price.

take a look. Plus it gives you the option of 13 custom finishes!
I would say this qualifies as the biggest baddest subwoofer around

Basically if you want a lot of extension and a relatively small enclosure (like the B4 plus) you have to have a lot of power to achieve those goals. On the other hand the link I provided above sends you to GIANT horn subwoofer. They have good extension, high efficiency but for that to happen they need a HUGE enclosure. Dustin said it best "Out of enclosure size, extension and power requirements; you can pick two to control and the third will be dictated to you."

How about Krell's new model?What model would that be?
Actually it can be touched for about the same price.You think the everest with two powered drivers and two radiators will hang with a B4?
