| We should reject hard-to-drive speakers more often "Some compression occurs in planar drivers, including ESLs, because the membranes are stretched across a frame. The mechanical impedance is not linear." True for all drivers, except perhaps the massive fan subwoofers. I think the difference in m... | |

Loudspeakers only take away from that; if you value dynamic contrast, using a speaker that has the least thermal compression will bring you closer to your goal. In this ligh... | |
