I wonder if this topic has been discussed here before; I would be very interested to hear your comments Fellow ASR Members
When we design our DIY speakers we can see how big the surface area of the cone is since it is part of the T/S parameters (namely the Sd parameter)
We also have another parameter, Vd that tells us how much air will be moved when reaching the Xmax (Vd = Sd * Xmax) aka. air displacement
For example here is how this looks like for my MCLA speakers:
My room has a volume of 67 m3
In my personal experience the bigger the driver surface is the better we can 'feel' the instruments; it provides better sense of 'being there'
Now the question is: is there a recommended minimum/optimum/maximum (?) ratio between driver surface or driver air displacement and room volume?
Or is this total nonsense?
Any comments/experience would be appreciated
