I'm wondering if there is an audible effect of the step/impulse response of a speaker based on what kind of damping it has and how long the response lasts. I would assume the perfect impulse response is the dirac function (H(0) = 1, H(t) = 0 otherwise) and the step response is a perfect stair step, but no speaker I've seen comes even close to that. It looks like most speakers have an underdamped response with a couple specific ones being critically damped and none overdamped. Why is this?
