To discuss your post in the other thread.
I'm travelling atvthe moment so please excuse dodgy phone typos and ability to access all the info I need to.
Fully accept the point about masking but let's look at another graph
So here we see H2 needs to be about 15dB below the fundamental to be audible. H3 needs to be about 28dB.
Thats 17% and 4% respectively.
The thing I'm motcallowed to mention is about 17% so yes audible imo, especially if higher orders kick off.
Also Amiirs plots showing 100% distortion at very low frequencies are probably due the speaker being driven below port resonance where the cone will become undamped leading to excessive excursions. He shouldn't be testing at high levels below those frequencies. There is potential for driver damage
