[QUOTE="Feandil, post: 1363401, member: 558570"] yes that's correct.... I was speaking more about phase changes within a driver actually not "reproducing" the way it was recorded.... speakers have thier own phase graphs based upon frequency for now I'd like to just define what distortion is the most offensive... obviously we've established that non-linear is the most audible and offense and should be avoided... however of the different kinds of 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc. harmonics is it agreed that 3rd onward is what matters? I think discussing things like steady state distortion and transient distortion will only confuse the issue I'm interested in what people thing sound quality is and what distortions matter.... obviously perfectly reproduced and recorded music is the ultimate goal but for something like subwoofers anything less than 5% THD is a pipe dream... perhaps what is best .... is to pinpoint all of the different ways to have a flat BL (with advantages), progressive Cms, and try and fathom close to the ideal pistonic speaker anyway I was more interested in what people look for in subs for distortion... and if say someone tells you this sub has the lowest 2nd harmonic distortion of any on the market would that actually matter?
