If they have the same frequency but different x_max, the one with larger x_max will move with a greater average velocity, greater v_max, etc. Just think about it for a moment - it has a larger distance to go in the same time. > But, the > larger one will have more inertia and will take longer to get going. True - that's called phase.

The first part is wrong, see above. The second part is also wrong - conventional cones are fixed at the edges, so clearly the speed can not be (and is not) constant across the area. -- opaqueice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ opaqueice's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33981 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
