MickyMcD Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 Almost every loudspeaker that is mentioned in this thread has completely missed the point of theatrical reproduction. The drivers listed here do not have the effeciency, frequency response or mechanical and electrical properties you are after. The main aim of a 'reference' loudspeaker is high effeciency, well into the 94+dB/1w/1M, with large cone area so that the driver does not have to use large motions to generate required pressure. 15" drivers are usually quite good at this. The free-air resonant frequency (fZ) should be a low value, and the driver should be able to reproduce sound in the lower octaves. A good driver will be able to reproduce sound well into the 25+Hz region (-3dB) in the correct enclosure without damage. The driver may use a heavy cone (high moving mass) to lower the fZ or a light cone with high BL, either way the driver must be effecient and responsive. It does not take incredible power to make low frequencies in a useable range for home theatre use. 135w per coil is plenty for a dual coil driver with high effeciency, and 135 will still be enough to make things work with a single coil driver of high effeciency. Grab a car audio woofer with 88dB/1w/1M sensitivity with a useable response to 40Hz, give it 135W and you will be dissapointed.
