Chained speakers signal connected in series

       btw, for clarity: What I listed above is all found in ONE, SGM 10B crossover network and the system’s two drivers.

rodman - That's all good info, but when I saw "geek" letter for ohms instead of Greek letter, it made me skeptical😁 The clarity thing I mentioned is from my testing, I had to prove it to myself. The theory about multiple drivers over the same frequency range is pretty well known. This is for high frequencies mostly, but also applies to the midrange in my listening tests.
esputnix - To make your listening tests more meaningful and convincing, use an SPL meter to make sure the listen levels are both the same. I would also use the same program material, speaker placement and distance from the speakers to your listing position. All things being the same, something louder will appear to "sound" better.

@fiesta-    I had posted, regarding how humorous that was, then thought about my own failings at being perfect (ALL the time) and deleted that line.
(part of my typical typing/posting/editing method in here, as outlined elsewhere)

      I'd also noticed, "symbolised", in the same sentence, which, for all I know, may indicate: he's from Britain (or something, maybe), which still wouldn't account for a Geek omega.

       Far as, "skeptical": I've known everything in that portion of the article, for decades and am confident of it's accuracy.  😉

        btw: When I said, "...might just sound a little different...": I was being facetious.

         I can't imagine that sounding worth a crap, for the reasons mentioned (especially: back EMF, feeding the next system)!   But then: I've never connected Tannoys in series, so: what do I know?

                                         Happy listening!

 I will share the numbers once I'm done! Your analogy of a 103dB speaker also got a chuckle out of me. 103dB @ 1watt,1meter distance is not that loud, really.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

At 1000 watts with 12 ribbons and planars drivers, I'm no where NEAR my system. Not to mention the other 20 MB and sub drivers, driven by 2 12K class ds. It would cave your chest in.. MB are 93% E 8" drivers

Add my center channel of 16 more neo 8 planars. We are close to BLASTING the meat off the bone at 3 meters. I would say 130 db would be conservative. I have guinea pigged a few smart A$$ kids.. It's left them with a nose bleed or two.. LOL

I'm sensitive I guess. :-)

I actually have ear plugs in right now!! Unless I'm sleeping or listening to music/TV they are in my ears.. At 66 I still spend a lot of time with noisy hand held tools.. My clunky fingers have a tough time after I use them for a while.. THUS the ear plugs stay in.. Not out.. 45 year now. 

I listen most of the time after 23-2400 hours. 2-6 watts with 6V6s and maybe 20 watts for the bass and 10-15 watts sub.. I can hear it EASY in a 25 x 40 x 16 wood shop.

BUT the issue is in series, imhififan made a good point. IN SERIES the second speaker is getting only what is NOT filtered from the first XO.

Sound different? Sound BAD is more like it, real bad.

Parallel will work with a stout class D no problem. I'd even say work well.

I like mids 300 hz and UP AT least 6 ohms 10-16 is even better. Valves don't like that low of numbers. My Macs will run at 2 ohms.
Sound BAD at best.. 8 ohms or > they just twinkle.

I just read your post "DOES NOT change." fiesta75.

Sure it does IN series. The signal path has gone through EVERY component in the first speaker box IF it is a typical series XO. IF it is a parallel OX design (like a Quasi second order) and BI AMPABLE it would STILL pass through all the XO filters BACKWARDS (?) in the bass or the mid/highs XOs after it went through every component in the first speaker box..  + - + -, is every component including the speaker terminals and VCs.

It’s IN SERIES, not Series/parallel or Parallel/series BUT one AFTER the OTHER.

How you like that for Techno talk.. I use to have to teach smart apprentices. Oh yea, they were smart alright. .Just like I use to be.. :-)

How’s my math by the way, you notice, no numbers applied for the unsighted.. I’m close after 50+ years of welding.. I strike an arc I can see just fine. TIG, MIG, TWIG, TWIT, TWILL, TWASEN’T.. LOL
