[QUOTE="audio_phill, post: 8190024, member: 605512"] Kind of misleading on output, cone area is considered louder based on More Sd = More Vas = Higher sensitivity, but has recently been blurred to more sd is better. Increasing Sd (cone area for those not tech acronym friendly) doesnt always increase output. Gaining mms and lowering Vas decreases output by lowering efficiency of the driver, High Q drivers (especially high Qes drivers) are very inefficient and for example a 12" With a qes would have a very low sensitivity, therefore need more power to reach the same output of a more efficient smaller driver. However, in the case of this Bravos vs IA I-10, the difference in efficiency would allow the 12 to reach similar output to the 10 but the ten may have more output at and around tuning (box gain) but below tuning the Bravox would again prevail thanks to its slow roll off thanks to the aid of the 2nd order slope, the lower fs and the lower qts. So, the IA may have a few frequencies where peak output would fair to the IA, but, output across the range would side with the Bravox. [/QUOTE]
