Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

Re: Example please?

Okay, by resonance I mean breakup. Wouldn't you say phase coherence require some kind of assumption of the drivers being minimum phase? By my reckoning it does. The nature of the breakup of an aluminum cone driver keeps it from being minimum phase.

Aluminum cone breakup is caused by two things. One is too much energy reaching the affected frequencies. The other is excursion, which I believe is the increasing distortion with increasing excursion. Excursion based breakup for metal cones can happen within the limits of Xmax for certain drivers. Neither of these things is well controlled in a 1st order crossover.
