    The w1500h is a great Subwoofer driver

    Nice too see it in this new box

    i have heard The S2S and The array 1500
    the second one is my choice

    I haven't seen or heard this new sub. Do you know if the new S2S-EX has an external amp with FLO?

    I recently set up my Revel B112 with built in amp and FLO... very impressive. I'd say the 12" B112 will give the 1500 Array a run for the money... especially if you deploy multiples, and at $3K instead of $5K and almost half the size, it is a bit easier to deploy several.

    Yes The Revel 112 sub is very nice and powerfull
    the dsp in it rocks

    The S2S EX seems like a moré high output solution for a custum synthesis solution with Sdec and external amps

    That makes sense... in what context did you hear it?

    How would you guys think the S2S-EX would compare to the S1S-EX?

    The S1S-EX has greater output and power handling. I personally prefer the sound of the W1500H driver to the 2242H, but since either of these are intended to be used in a Synthesis system with a SDEC and room calibration, the sonic differences may not make that much difference.

    They may, however, have different requirements for placement and associated EQ in a given room. The cabs themselves might also have a different sound, but I'd expect the "inaudible" performance of them to be equally impressive. (Blowing out candles and popping drywall nails, and such)
