[QUOTE="Per Søvik, post: 131487, member: 1285"] Re: Help me understand the concept of speaker “throw” please. 78% actually. When sound travels, the speed is governed mainly by the speed of sound in nitrogen because nitrogen is the main component. Most of the other components slow it down, and also causes losses because the different molecules move at different speeds and "dilutes" the sonic energy because the different molecules will be slightly out of phase. Also, the collisions between two different molecules causes losses that don't happen when two identical molecules collide (at least the losses are orders of magnitude smaller). It is a bit like building a Newton's Cradle with one of the balls being slightly different to the rest. [/QUOTE]
