RE: Compression - you hardly ever see measured

As far as I can tell the problem is not so much a drivers power compression which is rare to happen in a domestic environment but the fact that the voice coils heat up thus increasing resistance which in turn changes the response of passive crossovers.
This is kind of a double whammy since the crossovers inductors will also heat up and change the response even more.

This is largely avoided by using active speakers which can be driven to much higher volumes without changing sound than passives.
