RE: Quad ESL 63 Vs. 2805 Impedance Peak

Oops - copied the 2nd link twice. Fixed.

I knew the size of the peak was level-dependent but not its location; Stereophile: "...unusually, the *height* of this peak will depend on the drive level; the impedance in this region increases with increasing level."

The location of the peak being level-dependent also seems odd given this statement: "The peak in the bass is related to the diaphragm's fundamental "drumskin" resonance..."

The resonance freq should not change with level, yes?

Despite all that, you must be right - it must be a matter of varying levels.

So, apparently, S-phile used very different levels in measuring impedance in the two speakers. The 63 review specifies a level of 10mV; the 2805 doesn't specify it.
