And so it came to pass, on 08-21-96 08:14,
   that John Allen spake unto Matt Ion:
 JA>         I had a very educational conversation with Bill Duddleson,
 JA> the founder of Legacy Audio yesterday about subwoofers, and more
 JA> especially matching subs to your system and your room. 
Fantastic stuff, John -- thanks!  This message is now saved to disk :-)
 JA> That is also why several smaller (10" and 12") drivers moving a
 JA> shorter distance, pressurize and control the bass better than say
 JA> one large (18") driver would moving great distances (long
 JA> excursion).         
Heheh, remember the "Sweet 16" speaker system? :-)  And then there's the 
Intersonics Servo-Drive design (nice!)
 JA> He also advised that no matter how hard you try, some subs and
 JA> drivers were not intended to and cannot be matched well to some
 JA> main speakers, simply because of their lack of capabilities, like
 JA> freq range, speed/excursion or lack of actual surface area in
 JA> comparison to your listening room.         
Yup.  Better off building a system with cheap components designed to work 
together, than slapped-together, mismatched expensive pieces.
