[QUOTE="audioholic, post: 2835667, member: 549629"] Wow there's alot of misinformation in this post, and mostly from one person. If you think mass affects 'woofer speed' read this: [URL="http://www.adireaudio.com/Files/WooferSpeed.pdf"]http://www.adireaudio.com/Files/WooferSpeed.pdf[/URL] Im really surprised that topic is even being debated around here anymore. I dont care what DD's advertising people say, Dan's charts and facts say otherwise (see link above). I dont have the time to get into what Mms DOES do to affect sub performance. Plenty of info on that subject if someone wants to search. Hmmm, one big flaw there. According to your theory, as we turned down our volume knob, cone control would go out the window, and distortion would increase. As we all know, that does NOT happen. Again, pls read the link above about inductance, you really dont understand the fundamentals of how a speaker operates. A watt is a watt. Example subwoofer's cone is moving a certain distance, given a certain wattage input. Say its receiving 100 watts from a 200 watt amp. Now we replace that 200 watt amp with a 1000 watt amp, and again drive the speaker with 100 watts (and thereby give the same cone excursion). According to your theory, the bigger amp will control the cone more at 100 watts...? Or only when driven higher than the max wattage of the smaller amp in the comparison...? Next flaw, you dont understand how BL drops as the coil leaves the gap (on traditional motor topologies). The further the coil moves out of the gap, the less BL force you have (motor force), which WILL lessen cone control and untimately hurt linear travel. This is known generally as BL distortion and accounts the majority of audible distortion created from a traditional speaker. So... adding more power is only going to increase cone excursion, which will in effect decrease BL and INCREASE distortion. Not the other way around. Lastly, look into an amplifier's dampening factor, you are completely ignoring it. Again, you understanding inductance and how it affects subwoofer performance, would make having this conversation with you a whole lot easier.
