Re: High Frequency Compression Driver EvaluationSorry Art. I wasn't at all implying any problems with your MP3 files. (At high enough datarates, I'd expect to be able to heard the differences in the source content. But I haven't yet listened to any of your files.) I was just more broadly talking about the masking effects in the ear (that we exploit in perceptual codecs), and that I'm curious how this masking may, or may not, be reflected in designer's choice of the HF drivers.Regards distortion in compression drivers, JBL's new D2 drivers (in the VTX series) claim a "dramatic" reduction in HF distortion when compared to single diaphragm drivers. I'm very interested to see them compared in the way you did, but I understand JBL don't sell these outside of the cabinets, and in general are moving away from individual drivers sales.
