Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

No need for me to

I've used and built a lot of small drivers, both in TLs and in vented and sealed cabs. Bigger woofers just sound more natural in the bass.

Now, if bass isn't a priority for you, then certainly there are things that fullrange-based systems do very well. But they don't include realistic bass or realistic SPL before significant distortion. I don't always listen loud, but sometimes, I do, and I feel that a loudspeaker should be able to speak- loud :)

It should be noted that most of the instruments I've played have significant lower-register content, including Piano and Tuba, so there's an affinity for the deep stuff in me.



Bass is supposed to sound big. 6.5" is not a woofer size.
