Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: By non-linear do you mean that compression and rarifaction are not exact mirrors of one another? nt

Hey Tom, thanks for the clarification/correction. I was over-generalizing my point.

As an aside... My long lost friend John Meyer, back in the early 70s, hit on the idea of using electronics to "pre-distort" the signal in basically the opposite manner that the horn distorts it, effectively cancelling a large percentage of the distortion and reducing it by a significant amount, resulting in a much cleaner sound quality. I thought that was pretty novel.
