Re: 5K$  anyone?



So if you "give them" the 142dB (not sure where the extra 8dB comes from-unless it is from peak in the response well outside of the intended operating range-it would not be the first (or last) time that has been done-then you have 9dB for 3 cabinets vs 1.  So you are at 151dB. 


In "some" situations you can gain an extra bit of gain due to boundary loading caused by the other cabinets-but this is not going to happen with that type of cabinet and only 3.  So now there is a "mysterious" extra 12 dB coming from somewhere.


So if you add the 12dB  and the 8dB you get 20dB.  That is only a factor of ONE HUNDRED that they are off.  WOW if my car could perform as if it had 30,000 horsepower-instead of the 300 it now has I could have a lot of fun------------.  NO BENNETT-you would not be allowed to drive it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Numbers do matter-and how they are determined really matters.  But as long as people don't "question" then manufacturers will continue to put out whatever they think the buyers like.
