Dayton Audio Sig series

If you worry about 1.5% K3 of the Sig180 why don't you just filter it out? (passively)

You can even switch it on/off during listening anytime making a cable long enough to your listening position!

Now the BIG AUDIO CONTEST : WHO is able to detect a difference and HOW does it sound?

And WHICH music for testing?

Wom165_vMS)​

Btw - the 8836(?) from Usher Audio was also very good regarding distortion , stiff Kevlar cone and T-shaped pole piece with thick copper ring , flat response out to 4kHz (see test in Hobby Hifi magazine with B&K equipment) ... reflex alignment needs 30Ltr tuned to 30Hz .

Audio Heaven is not so far away as you might think

In this case I think filtering it out passively is going to be a bit of a challenge since it's quite broadband.

There's a distortion graph in the FRD/ZMA files they included. That bump at 850 isn't inspiring, and there's no reference volume.

Will someone please post these images for the 8" and 10" versions (I'm assuming 4 or 8 ohm wouldn't differ much?), or at least tell me how to open FRD/ZMA files on an Android device? Thank you.

FRD is not a picture file. It is a response data file you can view in a crossover simulator or a text editor.

The distortion plots I had found in the typical FRD/ZMA are in fact pictures of plots, not text data to be displayed in plotting software.
