I cranked them briefly once. Too loud. Very clean!

I think that's the idea behind the 1400-8. The article mentioned using 1100 watt peaks to make their eyes bulge.
Tom wanted to make a cool new amp and Ian wanted to give his customers a chance to fry woofers instead of just tweeters; if you buy woofers and tweeters in equal quantity but your customers can only fry tweeters, pretty soon you're going to have a heap of woofers out in back you have to dust every week.
The above is a late night hypothesis and should not be confused with a statement of fact.

I love the image of woofers in big piles behind the factory.

When I was a kid we used to raid the dumpsters behind the Philips warehouse/office a few miles away. There was a big service depot there and they always tossed out the coolest stuff. The official target was big Philips/DeForest woofers with fried voice coils that could be re-wound and built into speakers -- we could afford the tweeters and midranges but the big woofers were always too many $$ for a kid on a paper route.
They didn't have big piles of woofers but "the dumpster behind a national audio/video service depot" makes a pretty good image too. Televisions, shortwave radios, test equipment, you name it and they tossed it. If you want an amusing image, remember that the depot was a few miles away so we had to bring all this stuff home on bicycles...

Now it's kids in Dwight On. that go to the dumpsters to get subwoofer parts and bits of high-gloss realwood panels...

John? How did you fit televisions on bicycles? (I think I read your post before the edit...)
