Bass/speaker excursion issues


Hi, 

 

With some recordings, often time Chesky recordings and the example I experienced today was with Patricia Barbers "Higher" sacd song Surrender, the very low frequencies will cause the speakers to have extreme excursion to the point where I'm concerned it could do damage to the speaker. Has anyone experienced this and is there a solution other than turning the volume way down? It is usually just one or two songs on a CD. This is not a frequent occurrence but one that is a problem.

Yes. Bigger speakers with bigger woofers. What speakers do you have?

Raise your x over f to 80Hz and or increase crossover slope if you can

I agree, your main woofers are to small for 60Hz.  Extreme excursion = high distortion. 😎
