RE: Apogees and ethics - comments

The idea is that larger magnets and thicker tweeters end up with larger relative magnetic forces vs. air resistance and damping. Thus less compression.

In the torsioning case, I know from listening and from the basic physics of it that it can't be damped effectively, only prevented - as magnepan do with their little beads - which allows them to have no torsioning and no significant lengthwise resonance.

One of my tweeters is loose, while the other is nice and tight and beaded. The loose one torsions when playing signficant output below 5 khz, but performs just fine with the 10khz XO. The higher frequencies don't seem to be affected by the torsioning when playing at lower XO, but the 2-3 khz range becomes rough and screechy like the Apogees can sound.
