[QUOTE="thadman, post: 2965149, member: 561122"] I'm not sure what you absorbed from the Adire article, but know this. The panels in your car store an exorbitant amount of energy (ie they resonate...LONG after the original note has past), enough to objectively mask any difference in rise/fall time. Also, at 50hz each cycle takes 20 milliseconds to complete which is much longer that the rise and fall time, so much in fact that its impossible for you to discern between them. Linear distortion (ie flaws in transient response) is greatly influenced by the cones ability to remain pistonic. In the bass region, almost all cone materials are pistonic...if there were an issue with fast/slow bass we'd probably have the "metal vs paper" argument not which material is lighter. In the midrange, where linear distortion (ie transient response) is extremely important, the heavier metal cones most often store much less energy than the lighter paper cones (ie metal cones are much more pistonic). I am perfectly aware of what the term means. You were having an extremely hard time grasping what I was trying to convey, and it was getting frustrating. I'm deeply sorry if I came off as condescending. This is a place of learning and the atmosphere should not be hostile.[IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
