Actually Erik, no, I am not mixing up a driver vs a finished system. I didn't say ALL speakers rise with frequency, Many drivers have a fairly smooth curve. Here is a simple 2 way, they show driver impedance as well as system impedance and add zobel. Impedance compensation is the only thing that fixed these curves. You can see the curves.
I'm sorry, but I've read through that blog that you reference, it give very basic info and doesn't show detail. What you are saying about a driver vs that same driver within a system has minor merit, good compensation will affect the curve, but to say that a drivers individual impedance curve does not effect or control the system in the frequencies that it operates in wrong. This is not opinion, but fact. I've done this hundreds of times. Too bad that we live so far apart, I have an entire side of my basement shelved with drivers. We could do measurements together as well as do some system designs. Its easy enough to show. I think that the miscommunication or (mixing up) is what a drivers curve looks like in free air vs what it looks like in its enclosure. The curve can change quite a bit in an enclosure. Again, my goal here is not to argue, but to give the op some information on his inquirey. I believe that I know of a good example. I'll look around and if I find it, I'll post.
