[QUOTE="denim, post: 7250939, member: 545441"] [B]I fully understand the distortion aspect, when at the limits of drivers, it is going up. But the point of the matter is that those who are pushing the drivers that hard to the last few %'age of the drivers abilities are not the ones that give a crap about the finite differences of distortion between drivers and they are not the ones looking at the tech differences on paper either. And at that extreme level of output, distortion is no longer something to worry as the ears are overwhelmed anyway, and for anyone thinking that they can hear the finer details in the sub bass frequencies at 140db+, is just silly. In addition, overhung designs have vastly improved over the last few years through FEA optimization etc., that "tons" of audible distortion is no longer a major issue. [/B] [B] [/B] [B]The other thing is about the sacrifices made when going with different designs, that is what it is all about in driver design, a give and take. [/B] [B]As for the 5k thing, we have a big power driver coming (not a 5k ratted one), but we are not going to cater to the kids that buy cheap crap amps that don't know how to set a gain, or build a proper enclosure, and clip the crap out of the signal then blame the company for the driver blowing, not touching that market.
