[QUOTE="MiniVanMan, post: 2782906, member: 573252"] Good reads. Zaph did mention the distortion around the 3k point. So, if it was audible in a loudspeaker, that's a function of the overall design. Being mated with a ribbon, there's not much choice but to cross over high into the distortion range of the AC130. I don't worry too much when it comes to comparing between the home and car. You can get away with a lot more in a car, as there are just so many other sources of noise. The challenges of car audio are so much different than a home setup that it's generally unfair to compare the two. Anyway, any distortion that is barely noticeable in a loudspeaker will be inaudible in a car. That's especially when one opinion said it was good, and the other said it was bad. I still think you could get another 500 hz at the upper end out of that AC than the L15. That'll be easier on your tweeter. I'm mostly curious about the AC130MKII. I really like glass/kevlar cones personally. [URL="http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?&Partnumber=296-404"]http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?&Partnumber=296-404[/URL] [/QUOTE]
