 IMO the cleanest and most natural sounding subs include drivers with low Le and reasonable xmax. All that excursion usually leads to one thing-Audible distortion in the 40-80hz range. Makes high power subs undesirable for HT/Music dual duty use. Case in point-Dayton RS series-an excellent offering for Dual purpose listening. While technical data and graphs are always helpfull in determining the actual acoustic performance properties, actual listening has always been the best indicator for me. Coming from a Pro-Audio background, i've been pondering why most Pro audio sub drivers have low xmax. Parody, Conjecture, Speculation,anyone-Bueller.....Bueller? |
Curious (and I'm not saying this to be a troll or anything), but were you able to measure the Le at the frequencies you were listening at? Coming from a pro audio background, it makes perfect sense that the drivers you listen to would have a lower Le than the big excursion monsters available today.
Best,
