Good point fellas. The inability of home playback systems to recreate the physical sensation of live music is one of the most serious remaining failings of the recording/playback process. Reproduced music sounds too cerebral, the brain being fed information mostly through the ears, not the largest organ in the human body---the skin. I wonder if future centuries will look back at this period of hi-fi development as we do the Edison cylinder.
Small drivers vs big drivers
Hi,
I have a question that is always in my mind recently. I see some speakers with small drivers (5-9 inches) that is reviewed to be able to throw out big sound stage and go down to 18hz-20hz. Some other speakers with big drivers (10-15 inches) though are commented to have 'big sound stage' but can only go as low as 30-35hz.
To make the situation more complicated, some speakers have small drivers but there are many of them. Can many small drivers be compensate for the size limitation?
I don't know which specs determine a wide sound stage and the ability to reach low frequencies. What is the pros and cons of each design?
Thank you!
