Why do my mids sound better with less power?

[QUOTE="luvinthebass, post: 5105621, member: 558149"] Power Compression Speaker voice coils are made of copper or aluminum right?. So as these voice coils increase in temperature during normal operation, their resistance increases so you get less power. Greater voice coil resistance means less power transfer from the amplifier. As a result, the speaker will not play as loud when it's "warmed up" as it did when it was "cold". Some speakers may exhibit 3 to 6 dB of power compression. A mere 3 dB of power compression is equivalent to cutting the available wattage of your power amps in half. [/QUOTE]
