If you have the cash, is it possible to achieve the sound qualities of larger cabinets with smaller ones?
Within limits yes since you still need to displace the same amount of air to achieve the same SPL at low frequencies which tends to determine the speaker size. The price is that drivers for smaller cabinets tend to be less efficient and require more power. Raising the cone displacement for a given cone size tends to increase the level of distortion created. This can be addressed to a fair extent with motional feedback which might make a bit of a comeback beyond subs when more audiophile speakers are active rather than passive. We will see.If you have the cash, is it possible to achieve the sound qualities of larger cabinets with smaller ones?
I am listening to my 3/5 Spendors, near field and utterly satisfying with Mozart quintets: as were my Audio Note Js with Haydn quartets this morning.Will you lads stop it please, I love my small Spendor’s but all this talk of large drives has got me thinking......
