RE: About Magico speakers ... extremely impressive


Hi and thanks a lot for the very interesting explanation.
i can only imagine the complexity of the task
I am very ignorant but a driver is of course the main actor
In an way everything else should have the less impact on its performance.
Colorations for me in the end are distortions.
I was watching a video on Youtube ... even a very simple monotone test signal is reproduced very differently by different drivers/speakers.
In some cases you get very high level of harmonics not present in the original signal.
I know that music signals are so much complex.
But a speaker that has difficulty to playback simple signals could it be better with more complex ones ?
Take some woofers, send in a 100Hz/100dB signal and see what comes out.
The more and the higher the other peaks the worse the woofer.
At least at that freq and that level.
It should not be that difficult.
And after reading that real peak levels can be pretty high i would test the speakers also at 110 dB to see their limits.
I heard that a very top and extremely expensive brand has stopped using ceramic woofers because at high levels tend even to break.
That could be made evident with the correct testing i guess.
I see instrumental testing as a screening tool to avoid basic issues like reliability, high distortion, quality assurance ... etc.
Thanks a lot again.
Kind regards,
bg
