Matching up compression characteristics

Randy -

In a multi-way system, matching up the compression characteristics of the different drivers would be quite desirable, in my opinion. Otherwise if the woofer compresses a bit more on loud peaks (which woofers will do when they exceed linear Xmax), then those peaks will have a brighter tonal balance. If this is what you're doing, then you are exploring some very interesting (and to my knowledge undeveloped) territory. As an amateur designer I've tried to match up compression characteristics, but frankly I never thought of adding a bit of compression to the tweeter. That is brilliant.

Have you run this by Alan Hulsebus? I wonder if he'd have any thoughts.

I can't offer any great ideas on how to pull it off, but I sure do wish you the very best of luck with your project!
