[QUOTE="thylantyr, post: 1157599, member: 560358"] Some folks like me prefer high impact sound from the loudspeaker, akin to beating on a snare drum with a stick. That crack you hear is alot of energy and trying to get a driver to reproduce this ain't easy. First, that transient would clip the amp easy and squash the peak. What do you do? You can use higher sensitivity drivers in the design. You can use an amplifier with higher rail voltage. You can bridge an amplifier to get 2x more clipping headroom. For non bridged amps, if you want a higher rail amplifier you have to buy an amplifier with high wattage ratings because that is how you get high rails. I drive the NSB array with a 1200w/ch amp, not because the NSB's draw 1200w, rather the amp has 110v rails so clipping occurs at 110v. If I bridge the pro amp and drive the array with 2400w, the NSB's aren't drawing 2400w, but I now have 220v clipping headroom for transients. To make the sound more uber and offer high impact, you wire the array for low impedance to boost sensitivity. So, 220v headroom on 16 NSB's rated for 104dB sensivitity can crack your head open with clean sound that resembles the real musical instrument when struck hard... You should hear the jazz music that I play on this array, the dynamic impact is insane, nothing in the store can beat it unless it's a high sensivitity array and some of them are not wired for high sensitivity. This is the real fun in audio, when you can crack skulls with transients.[IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
