Ok that's fine, But what part of "Linearity Motor Technology" is 100% indicative of a flat response curve? So with that being said take an accelerometer, put it on a Linear Motor System equipped sub-woofer. See how 'linear' it really is. Do you listen to how linear a BL curve sounds and presents itself? Or do you listen to the sound that the moving assembly reproduces through switching electrical energy of the magnetic assembly?
Because it is the displacement of air...that creates the sound correct? Or are you talking in 100% regards to the addage of "Ok, it has a ruler flat BL "Curve" so therefore it must be linear in response throughout a given spectrum." ?
I'm not totally sure in which way you are looking at this. The LMS technology does indeed have a flat BL curve. However, with the suspension setup, cone geometry and how the gap is set up...begs me to ask the question of just how linear is the moving assembly through a given entire stroke through a broad band white noise signal?
It simply boils down to are you listening to the woofer paper that says it has a flat BL curve, and assuming that it yields a 100% Linear and +/- 1dB response?
If so you can't do that, it does not work like that. If somebody has an LMS driver i'll show it to you as I have the accelerometers to show the alleged cone assembly..is not that 'linear' (taking the word for face value meaning 100% in a line), and does lead to cone break up and distortion, and does sway back and forth. (which you supposedly can not hear right since it is very linear and linearity is a direct correlation of zero distortion and zero peaks and zero valleys?)
Again, put yourself in an anechoic chamber. I pluck a string right in front of you with a guitar and capture the acoustical energy going past your ears that you process with a microphone array. I then put a speaker that is 100% linear with respect to a BL curve in nature from 0-20Khz and replay the track (LMS for example), that does have a 'flat' response and is described as sounding 'dead'. I then put a speaker that is not 100% linear motor however it has a 100% "flat" (+/- 3dB) response from 0-20kHz. Which one is going to sound more realistic? The one that completely ignores the actual resonance of the body of the instrument and plays it 100% flat due to the BL curve that it has and it is designed to have. Or the one who takes note of hey I've got a resonance of the body of the instrument here that was 2.8dBa @ 124Hz..I need to play that.
The second of the two is the most accurate of the original recording; Just because something has a "Linear Motor" does not mean that it has a flat response...or an exact response of the original recording. If there is a peak there and it does not have the motor to emphasize the peak, then what's going to happen? Its simply not going to be there correct?
Or am I mistaken?
Edit: You simply do not listen to flat BL curves in a car...or any environment. You do not listen to "flat" response curves..anywhere for that matter. Nothing is flat, no matter what environment you put it in, unless you equalize it...
So with that said, unless you are at the concert...your not going to get a recording any more accurate then being there.
Yep //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif Neil and I simply do not agree on the subject. We've known that for many years now.
