All of this is a good argument for multidriver speakers. A given driver, with its mass, stiffness, and many other properties, can handle only a limited range of frequencies convincingly. A single driver design can play coherently and pleasingly, but will only handle the midrange frequencies with authority.
Speaker Driver Material & The Sound of Dissimilar Materials
Can anyone explain(NOT anecdotally)how it is possible for a driver made of metal(aluminum etc..)to properly convey the tone of wood & how a wood/pulp or plastic based driver can convey properly the tone of metal(electric guitar strings,cymbals)?This is a very confusing concept to me...
