[QUOTE="Jay Barracato, post: 130432, member: 24"] Re: Help me understand the concept of speaker “throw” please. I would say forget you ever heard it. It is a meaningless term in light of the physics that control the motion of sound waves. The wave is formed when a vibration does work (transfer energy to) the medium (air) in which the wave travels. Once the wave is formed it follows the same rules regardless of the source. That acoustic source may not be where you thought it was, depending on the speaker setup (i.e. horn vs front loaded vs vertical array etc.) but once the wave is in motion, that motion is well defined.
