[QUOTE="Baseline, post: 925977, member: 14307"] Very interesting indeed and deserving of much respect. One wonders though, if you were to apply all the techniques and manufacturing methods as depicted, but were to use a less powerful magnet combined with a lighter speaker cone, would you be able to achieve similar sonic results and be able to achieve it without the need for such powerful amplifiers. I assume the reason behind needing 250+ quality watts to get B&W 802 speakers to sing, is due to the weight of the Kevlar cones and working against the strength of the magnets. Many other companies also design simpler, less power draining crossovers to achieve a similar result. After all, simply splitting the frequencies to be sent to the individual drivers should not be that complicated nor that power intensive. [/QUOTE]
