[QUOTE="audioholic, post: 4925744, member: 549629"] I thought I was pretty clear in stating I was discussing distortion levels at a given output level. "[I]Two Fi Q's, for example, only being required to play half as hard as a single W7 to produce the same output level, would each be working much less hard than the W7 (in terms of linear displacement), and could/would likely display less over all distortion, at that output level.[/I]" Where from that statement do you get that I was only referring to SPL levels? I was stating just the opposite. [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif[/IMG] Both setups, the user has the same goal.... less distortion at a given output level. Setup 1 consists of a single W7 being played close to its full potential to reach the specified SPL output level. The second setup consists of two lesser quality subs being required to play to a lesser degree to reach the same output level (given their combined output potential is greater than the single W7). Given the exact situation, what the lesser subs are, etc... that could easily lead to the pair of lesser subs displaying less distortion at that, or any given output level. Speaking in total theory here of course, I have no intention of trying to compare specific model subs over the internet. And there are obvious down sides to the dual but cheaper sub setup.... generally it will require more enclosure volume, to name one. I only use the term 'out performing' when I clearly define it within the context. I thought I had done that. In my example, the dual setup would display less distortion than the single driver at any given output level. My comments do not describe a flaw inherent to W7's, its simply their price tag and notoriety that makes them the poster child for this application of the law of diminishing returns on investment. Id rather have the two XXX's I own than the one UL I could have bought with that money. But someone could easily make the argument Id be better off had I bought four of some lesser sub, assuming I have the space. *shrug* [/QUOTE]
