In this case the smaller driver would require more motion, and would have to have a better impulse response, in order to match the speed of a driver producing the same SPL at 1/2 its x-max. Given similar impulse responses, the larger driver would be at rest sooner than the small driver.
Imagine how little a woofer the size of a kiddie pool would have to move to produce a 100dB 30Hz tone, compared to a normal woofer. It would be like a planar woofer, i.e. fast :-) Again, not trying to insist I'm right on this, but even creative part says: "The ribbon is only moving very slightly. So, it can respond very quickly to a signal". So what is this effect that causes opposite results in large ribbons versus large woofers? -- Skunk ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Skunk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2685 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33981 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
