That seems very interesting, how Z line very low value could have any effect on the very large L and C values on the electrical model of a typical speaker? For example

In point 2 (fig. 6) where any C is near 1000 uF and any resonant L in the 10 mH order, and that C values don't even consider the box (or closed cavity for tweeter)...there must be an explanation
Interesting link..thank you
I'm actually not sure what your point was w/r to the values and an explanation. Can you elaborate?
interesting point in the paper....."why is mass an inductance".
below resonance, my HP meter considers it a negative inductance, thinks it's a capacitance.
Think of what is delivered to the terminals. You seem to be saying that if I were to for example, delay all midband content on one channel 10 or 20 microseconds, it doesn't matter because of the speaker model? Since others have shown that to be patently false through human tests, I think that can be discarded.
It is important to go beyond that. If something delays midband on one channel only, humans will hear it. The speaker model (which is a rudimentary one that entirely neglects what I've been speaking about in addition to many things Klipple speaks of) doesn't simply discard the timing of energy delivered to it's terminals.
Just look at the spice model (fig 7) of the fig 6 parameters you cite. 40 ohm peaks at 40 hz and 90 hz, back up to 40 ohms at 8 kHz. 8 ohms in between.
The settling time of that model using a 150 ohm 20 foot length of zip with an EDC of 5 will exceed human ITD thresholds at 8 ohms, scales back tremendously at the 40 ohm peaks. And, that is not considering dynamic modulation of the speaker impedance. Too may believe that graph is reality when there is program material driving the speaker. I have a bridge to sell..
What I speak about in terms of cables and speaker dynamic impedance is significantly beyond that work, the authors did not show that level of detail in their model. I'm sure they could not do so considering the audience they intended to reach. Honestly, I do not know if they even realize the complexity, I may be mistaken.
My recommendation to use a 4 pairs of twisted zip to bring the cable L/C down to the 25 ohm RF impedance centers the settling times halfway up that model, and that minimizes the midband ITD in the event there is significant impedance modulation. When that is done, impedance modulation no longer matters, as the impedance variation cannot produce delays which exceed ITD thresholds. And, its cheap, and it does not entail a significant capacitive penalty. It is a buffer against the speaker magnetic design flaws present in most designs.
I have no issue with them reaching out to me or using my material.. Hojo I believe did back in '04 (IIRC) for skin effect, I am happy he did.
