Does he have a high or low voice? And if he is in the baritone range then does he have a port?I believe the the fastest speaker in the world is Steve Woodmore.

He speaks at roughly 4x the speed of an average person so I expect he has a soft dome tweeterDoes he have a high or low voice? And if he is in the baritone range then does he have a port?
Mine are faster since I fitted castors to them.Time for some humour. I believe the the fastest speaker in the world is Steve Woodmore.

Someone better notify HARBETH, PROAC, SPENDOR, ROGERS, GRAHAM, ATC, QUAD, B&W, KEF, LINN, NAIM, AUDIO NOTE, MONITOR AUDIO, REGA RESEARCH, DYNAUDIO, DALI, JAMO, B&O, CANTON, MAGNAT, KHARMA, PHILIPS, FOCAL, CABASSE, YAMAHA, SONY, DENON, PIONEER, SANSUI, TECHNICS, TOTEM, KLIPSCH, AVALON, NHT, POLK, KLH, LEGACY, WILSON, (even) JBL and countless other highly esteemed international loudspeaker manufacturers who - at one time or another - have all carefully incorporated one or more 8" woofers into their award-winning speaker designs...
They've all been making woofers for children!
Who knew?
Laughable.
I know these forums are a place for opinions, but sadly, IMHO this once promising thread left the Kingdom of Sanity and Maturity from the above post onwards. A shame.
[Apologies if I left out your favourite speaker manufacturer. No slight intended... ]
I didn’t realise they weighed so much. I’ve never heard them but the design when you think about it is truly remarkable.
I use the word fast in the context to describe that we feel, for example, the violinist is moving his now faster. We get this feeling because of more nuance and variation. So you hear more things happening, fast. The linear tracker on Vyger transitions quickly from note to note, I heard this with the linear tracker on versa dynamics as well, and one thing is that good LTs don't have skating and anti skating forces slowing them down. Well set up VDH stradivarius will appear fast because of fast transients
Fast is how it sounds. The opposite in context of speakers is sluggish..
With speakers, it is more about grip on drivers. Too much chokes the speed, too little drive causes sluggish movement. The fastest, for example, is very low watt amps with very high sensitive speakers. You can immediately hear a difference when you drop from a big tube like 211, 845 or 833 to a smaller one like 2a3 provided it can drive the speaker. If the 2a3 cannot drive, the headroom will be less, it will sound dynamically compressed, and woofers will move sluggishly.
Electrostats are fast in the midrange and up compared to most cones.
The faster ones do more and are therefore more exciting as opposed to boring. This is a positive term, and does not mean hurried, which is a negative term.
Fast - vdh, Lyra, Vyger, electrostats, ribbon midrange, panel bass. In solid state amps Spectral, CH, Goldmund, Soulution, Boulder, Dagostino, are fast, NOT Vitus, Luxman, Pass.. In valves, very low output valves with well matched speakers are the fastest, then keeps slowing down and push pull relatively quite slow. Standard cones - Slow. Tannoy - slow. Underdrivern or overrgripped - slow. Not all fast is good, some are bad, not all slow are bad, some are good.
Eh ???
I think perhaps accurate response to incoming signal might cover it. Bringing amplification into the discussion just muddies the whole issue. No pun intendedwhat is the interpretation of the word fast in fast speakers?
It has no meaning whatsoever.what is the interpretation of the word fast in fast speakers?
Focal diabolo utopia were the fastest I've personally heard.
There's a pair at a good price in classifieds by the way.
Eh ???
Just a note that I said the diablo utopia are the fastest (I personally heard) not the fastest from all.bonzo has probably listened to more systems that half of pfm !!! he came to hear my summits as well and kindly sorted me with some townshend stands that made a fabulous improvement
having had diablo i wouldnt say they are that fast . my ar6 are fast thats for sure
Just a note that I said the diablo utopia are the fastest (I personally heard) not the fastest from all.
Also if youve found a significantly faster they must be unique indeed as the diablos were too much at times for me.
Also note that I've used all the speakers with a devialet amplification which are also some of the fastest and most dynamic amps on the market today....
