Re: Is the difference in sound quality all in our head?
That's all very true, Rusty. Glad you posted it.
The audibility of distortions and anomalies could be and should be viewed as a weighted set, with the most audible things factoring in more than the least audible things.

Re: Pete's Home Theater Build
You're right that the benefits from the JBL driver are much more pronounced in the four π speaker than they are in the seven π cornerhorn. The woofer is low-passed at 250Hz in the cornerhorn, so much of the gain from the flux stabilization ring is unu...

Re: Upgrades

Re: Audibility of Phase
We are definitely on the same path and these are good words for refining the point. I guess another way to state this would be that speaker POLARITY effects both phase AND non-linear distortion. Since our ears are phase agnostic, this leaves the distortio...

Re: Audibility of Phase
You're right about the condition that exists at high drive levels. You and I have discussed this before. At extreme levels, where a driver becomes non-linear, some (most) act differently in one direction than the other. I've seen that in woofers in pa...
