Yes. The amplifiers output impedance plays a role. It along with the speakers impedance determines the Damping Factor which determines how well the amp can control the movements of the speaker's transducers/drivers. https://www.sweetwater.com/insync/damping-factor/ |
+1 transient response is a proper technical term. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transient_response "fast" is slang. |
Fast with a speaker for me refers to low distortion resulting from minimal time lag due to inertia between signal and movement of the transducers as would be expected with a good combo of stronger magnets, precision machining and assembly of parts, and low mass driver and voice coil. Result is the transducer/driver moves faster and more accurately than usual in response to the electric signal provided. Efficiency is different. That's the SPL produced in response to a standard electric signal. Louder does not mean faster or less distortion in the time domain necessarily. |
