It would manifest itself at high excursion. The best way to show it is to drive the woofer with a test signal that puts it under excursion and then take several tweeter measurements, with and without the midwoofer under stroke. How audible it is depends on the test signal and with a given song it may or may not present an audible issue. I love active designs but I also understand an audiophile longing to use a given amplifier. I have some 300Bs that are wonderful with the right loudspeaker and I know that they alter the signal but at the end of the day, I love how they sound. -- Kevin Haskins ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Kevin Haskins's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=30729 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88582 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
