Doppler (intermodulation) distortion would show up as a reduction in clarity at high SPLs, particularly with bass-heavy, complex music.

I agree that’s why my main JBL 2 way speakers have two15’’ woofers.

Doppler (intermodulation) distortion must be an issue for speaker designers or why would a company like JBL talk about it back in the 1980’s. See the link below page 3 last paragraph B460 bass system.
