> It's a simple reason if you have the math background: Those with an engineering background will point out that extended frequency range generally comes at cost to some other metric. No parameter comes for free; it's traded off against something else. (You mention that of course, but I wanted to stress that it's just as likely to be a net-loss tradeoff as a net-gain). > A wide-band > transducer with high damping is better able to reproduce the signals that > you feed it, but also loses some of its capability to deliver power. It typically loses a _substantial_ amount of efficiency. The power amplifier then has to work that much harder, and it will see objective fidelity drop precipitously as power increases. Nothing for free. Monty _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
