."....Obviously, the resistances inside the loudspeaker are the dominant factors.
Even eliminating the inductor and driving the woofer directly changes things
only slightly. The article (Toole, 1975) shows oscilloscope photographs of tone
bursts of various frequencies and durations while the damping factor of the
ampli?er was varied from 0.5 to 200. At damping factors above about 20 (inter-
nal impedance less than 0.4 ohms), no change was visible in any of the transient
signals, and changes in frequency response were very much less than 1 dB, and
then only over a narrow frequency range. On music, no change in sound quality
could be discerned, including attentive listening for “tightness.”
