Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: Dynamism

...every type of speaker has strengths and weaknesses in their basic design. When you add crossovers, they become even more complex, less coherent and can be difficult to drive.

Electrostats have detail (and full range ones have coherence). Adding a different type of bass driver can cause discontinuity.

Planar magnetics can sound very realistic in their attack and decay, especially through the midbass.

Both of these types are dipole radiators and need a larger room.

Horns sound very dynamic, but can have directional issues.

Dynamic drivers can have a lot of the strengths of all of these and if designed properly, they will have fewer trade-offs for the money.

Hence they are the most common and popular in all sizes.
