No one is "lying" from the Klipsch Camp. It's a speaker cabinet that looks a certain way and occupies X amount of cubic feet of space in a room.When fed music signal, the sound it produces at a specific bandwidth at X amount of distortion/clarity, period.
Now for those who want to get technical as to "how it's achieved," if it's that important:
Then one could say it's about a 5 1/2 foot folded front horn bass unit with a built in subwoofer that uses the back wave of the double 12" cones in a resonant cavity which is fed into the volume of air and operates at frequencies below the natural horn's low cutoff. The upper range above 300 hz. or so is fed to the world's most advanced, single diaphragm compression driver into a Hybrid Formula, straight axis mid/treble horn that contains a custom phase plug. The speaker makes use of an AD/DA converter that modifies the resultant waveforms to compensate for the acoustic behavior of the driver and the room, yielding a low distortion response with an 18 hz to 20 Khz. bandwidth.
So if it's 2 Front Loaded Horns from 50-20,000 Hz. with a bass reflex box with many ports to function as a built-in generator at Sub Woofer frequencies of only 1.5 octaves vs. the other 8.5 from the horn portions, with PEQ's to flatten it all, where is the "LIE" from a marketing perspective exactly????
So does the implication mean that the only way to NOT lie is to have MONO Full Horn Subwoofer the size of a Refrigerator (that also uses a 6 db boost below the horn's cutoff because the horn is too short as a subwoofer and never reaches 20 Hz.) between 6 straight axis horns the only way to do this, a la Bruce Edgar????
Where do we draw the line in the Semantics vs. Physics game, I wonder???
