[QUOTE="Leland Crooks, post: 81927, member: 382"] Re: Listening Get Together The carrier is produced with swept sines. But it's just not as pronounced. Our spl and response testing show different values depending on the source. RTA's with noise show different output and frequency response as opposed to swept sine waves. The cabs are designed to produce music. Music is not a single source sound. Very hard to describe the sound of a BigE cab. They are just dynamic and alive. I have many cd's and mp3's that are just unlistenable. Every single detail is reproduced, you can hear the engineer working the mix. Most of the cd's I have that were remixed from vinyl are terrible. Ivan you asked earlier about defining the problem. The original problem Steve and Tom set out to overcome was the huge amount of eq/dsp required for most high output loudspeakers today. And to see if they could overcome the placement issues of horn loaded cabs and still maintain that kind of efficiency. Both were achieved. At the listening party, everything was run absolutely flat. No eq, no dsp. In efficiency they do approach horns, not quite there in output per watt, but close. [/QUOTE]
