Re: Dayton IB385-8 Versus Hawthorne Silver Iris Augie

Is there a particular reason why a woofer like the Dayton or the Hawthorne wouldn't sound good above 100Hz, even if the frequency response looks good? (I'm hoping the typical 100Hz crossover has more to do with the higher frequency drivers typically used in boxed speakers, rather than an inherent limitation of the Dayton)

The problem is in the measurements themselves. Conditions such as boundarys,indoors or out,smoothing applied etc.

You probably already know about people measuring nice responses and not hearing a nice musical result.Interpreting graphs brings in psychoacoustics,low Q vs high Q resonances for example.

The alpha15 looks good according to that site.Xmax is a little low,but 4 total should be enough for sane volumes.

Can you post more detail about what the entire system eg why 250hz XO.
