Good day everyone - hope you’re all doing well!
Buchardt Audio came out with a Signature Edition of their A500, with a custom Purifi woofer for the front driver (has 2 voice coils) with 2 separate amps powering the same woofer
I’m curious what the benefit of that would be?
Guessing it’s to do with one of their custom voicings - in cardioid mode, they likely lose some output, so the extra voice coil+amp would be used to compensate for that loss?
(Being that the rear driver would be used for cancellation to create the cardioid pattern?)
Regardless - I’m just curious if there’s other benefits to that approach (dual voice coils+dual amps feeding the same driver) beyond an increase in output?
Thank you all in advance!
