In Reply to: a basic speaker question.. posted by cloudwalker on July 30, 2016 at 12:40:16:
Here's another way to look at things. Unless you are playing pure sine waves, your speaker already has a set of complex sound waves to deal with. For example, middle C on a piano is 261 Hz. Lots of other instruments play the same note at the same frequency, yet don't sound the same as the piano's note. This is due to their differing harmonics, attack & decay spectrum and other characteristics that make the note sound unique to that instrument.
In order to accurately reproduce the piano note, your speaker is already playing multiple frequencies at once within its active frequency range (keep in mind that most piano notes have two or three separate strings that are struck at once). Adding the notes of additional instruments within the driver's frequency range is just more of the same.
Yes, some speakers are better than others in terms of accurate reproduction, but this also depends on what sound characteristic you're focusing on at the moment.
