What happens when you suck the air out of a volume with compliant surfaces, like a soda can or a basketball or cardboard box?

To be fair, the Saranna and the 8C have similar driver sizes. And I don't think we can fault a speaker explicitly designed for a given...

The 'jump' factor he discusses with the 8cs probably validates your use of larger drivers. I have speakers with compression drivers and...

Thanks for the comments and concerns! That's kind of why I am making such a small batch to begin with, which is not too risky...

Ironically the different path lengths from former to come edge can cancel out resonances; see the Scanspeak ellipticors. I think I've...

A passive radiator is basically equivalent to a port. It has mass and elasticity from the air behind it and the suspension. A port has...

I believe the most important frequency band is that containing formants. Your mouth and tongue emphasize different harmonics which in...

This is a hard problem as creating a static RF situation is extremely hard. Run to run variations will exist for any objective metric...

Metrics such as linear and nonlinear distortion are not really relevant to your task. You need to look up metrics for intelligibiliIy. I...

You might look into hearing aid Spoken Word tests. There are so many different Real World noises, that are nothing like the electronic...

Maybe take a look at the ITU-T Telephony subjective quality recommendations such as ITU-T P.800 and ITU-T P.830. Some parts of these may...

We're talking here about purchasers with at least tens of millions in disposable income. That's a whole different world when it comes to...
