A speaker does not reproduce sound at the speed of sound. It cannot. That is why a dynamic driver generally utilizes a cone. It is using compression effects to try to deliver the sonic impact of what you would have heard in an ideal driver configuration. Horns are even more efficient but that is a whole different post subject.

Smaller drivers produce faster bass and midbass response. You can measure it if you actually take the time to measure things.

Multiple smaller drivers produce faster response and equal or surpass a larger single cone driver.

We use multiple drivers in arrays for professional sound reinformement (live music events.....).

Wanna know how it would sound with a single larger driver?

      - You are a bit confused, as example, does bass drum head move at 750mph when hit? - Edp 07:43:20 05/12/08 (8)
        
        No confusion...simple facts and reality. - tubesforever 00:09:16 05/13/08 (7)
        
        Well beyond confusion = Now sound doesn't travel at the speed of sound! - Richard BassNut Greene 08:07:35 05/13/08 (1)
        
        Get some experience Richard....and then you will understand more about what you are ranting about.... - tubesforever 23:23:23 05/14/08 (0)
        
        How can sound travel less than speed of sound? - Edp 07:55:51 05/13/08 (4)

        A man who uses two 12" drivers shouldn't tell others bass sound best from small drivers = hypocrite - Richard BassNut Greene 13:42:09 05/10/08 (2)
        
        You need some really decent drugs Richard.... - tubesforever 22:22:23 05/10/08 (1)

    - And I agree with you in several senses... - tubesforever 20:05:10 05/07/08 (6)
      - "In my system I use two 12 inch ... drivers" = SO you use large diameter drivers & argue against them here - Richard BassNut Greene 08:33:53 05/08/08 (5)
        
        I guess you forgot our earlier discussions on subsonic reinforcement. - tubesforever 00:09:12 05/09/08 (4)
        
        Oh now I remember, you're the RELnut who calls a single 10" driver sealed subwoofer a "subsonic reinforcement driver"? - Richard BassNut Greene 10:12:07 05/09/08 (3)
