Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: B&W 801 S2 Fatigue VS. 802 S2 No Fatigue?

You could buy yourself a SPL meter from Radioshack for about $50 and use a tone generator online and see the spiking in FR range.

I agreed that it is most likely ringing from those Kevlar mids. That is a big problem and a design flaw. There's a reason Kevlar, magnesium, aluminum and other exotic materials were quietly phased out. Horrible ringing that needed some big ass notch filters. In the end those filters were expensive and only squelched the sound.

Dump that speaker and move on.
