| Is it time that Klipsch Heritage marketing a subwoofer? A subwoofer offered from the Klipsch Heritage line would be an interesting addition. It’d definitely need to be horn-loaded in some variation (both with regard to the need for very high efficiency as well as the specific sonic imprinting of horn-l... | |
| Demise of bass quality in Main speakers @akg_ca wrote: Ignoring the basic physics that a larger driver can go deeper, quality crisp bass slam and dynamics in bass reproduction has minimal to do with driver size. Rather it’s about the speed of the driver. A larger driver in itself do... | |
| Speakers and amplifiers show audiophiles are confused. @donavabdear wrote: so I spoke to Dave an engineer from Bryson unfortunately they didn’t have their powered systems here so we talked about powered speakers and active crossovers he fully agreed that’s how high end systems should be designed.

In addition to thermal issues this would only stress the importance of headroom, and also ... | |
| We should reject hard-to-drive speakers more often @ditusa wrote: In my opinion, a high powered amplifier that can drive lower impedances will never be a proxy for a speakers lack of true efficiency.

Either they have limited excursion, and therefore compression, or they have infinite excursion and no compression. That... | |
| 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... | |
