| Distorted sound on speakers ihcho OP522 posts09-06-2009 8:08pmI have two amps. 100WPC solid state power amp and 55WPC tube int amp. The speakers suffer the same problem with both amps. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Proof a great amp, can not help out a distorted speaker. | |
| Distorted sound on speakers Can I safely assume that the speaker is flawed?ihcho09-06-2009 4:19pm ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~All xover designs are flawed = distortion. Only new high tech wide band offer ~~~ distortion free fq's~~~ Midrange. | |

| Speaker sensitivity? also sound super. My personal opinion is that it should be cheaper to design a high sensitivity speaker than a high powered amplifier. Regardless, either path works. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Indeed!!!I can put together a wide band driver ina DIY ca... | |
| Speaker sensitivity? mejames986 posts05-15-2001 3:26amdoes sensitivity effect the musical nature of a speaker? Well music isn't a constant volume is it. It changes volume extremely quickly from no sound at all to sometimes very loud. These changes greatly effect the... | |
