[QUOTE="Art Welter, post: 75586, member: 52"] Re: Danley SM80 and others shootout Monday January 14 at Danley in Gainesville, GA. JR, No, all source material does not have "punch", a ramped up sine wave or a droning kick drum sample will sound pretty much the same on a speaker with poor transient response (lots of stored energy released after the transient) or good transient response. If the drum or bass instrument is "tight" or "punchy", ie a large initial transient peak and a relatively fast decay envelope, but the loudspeaker prolongs or smears the envelope in time, it will lack punch. Since loud "punch" is also accompanied by a feeling of chest resonance, it is possible to have too much level, but it would not be possible to have a "too accurate" transient response, the best sub in the world still has relatively slow transient response at very low frequencies. Since the decay envelope and transient response of a sub is largely determined by it's design and driver compliment, you can understand my curiosity regarding Ivan's statement that we can change the "subjective impact" of one sub to match another. I know changing the subjective impact can be done with FIR filters (and EQ), but the latency would be too much (in my opinion) for live use. I'll be waiting for Ivan's more detailed explanations.
