Re: Size of the speakers
The size of the speaker matters with respect to efficiency and/or bass extension. When designing a speaker, you can choose to optimize any two of three variables: 1 - Small size, 2 - Bass extension and 3 - Efficiency. This is called "Hoffman's Ir...

Re: Will they get smaller?
You're right, John. It's physics, and has been mathematically quantified in Hoffman's Iron Law and Thiele/Small analysis.
The physics of a electro-mechanico-acoustic device dictate that it can be made small only if efficiency and/or bass extension ar...

Re: How much are speakers shrinking?
Bigger is better!
Seriously, where speakers are concerned, bigger truly is better. Hoffman's Iron Law states that you can have any two of the following: small size, deep bass or high efficiency. You can optimize any two, but not all three. So if the s...

Re: An advanced replacement
Thanks for this Wayne; I had no idea there was some science behind it. I love bass in my speakers so I don't think there's any need to think of any other replacement.

Re: WTPro
Yes, Thiele Small was the obvious choice for a Speakerhead like myself. I do have those PDF files on the Mac, I was just concerned that their absence on the PC might be symptomatic of another problem. After all, it IS a PC...!
Do you prefer I use tech...

Re: WTPro
The user guide, release notes and quick start are all PDF files in the installation directory. If the PC environment is set up properly, the UG can be opened via F1 key or pull down menu. Another option is to use an external program to view the PDF file...

Re: Getting that "big speaker" sound
My opinion:
No, you can't get big sound out of a small speaker. And yes, bigger is better.
Actually, it isn't an opinion. It's fact, described first as "Hoffman's Iron Law" and then later quantified by Neville Thiele and Richard Small i...
