Is it possible to cover the whole spectrum, high SPL, low distortion with a 2-way?

According to mabat, you can calculate amplitude from phase

Maybe using the above two waves he can give an example

Since there amplitudes are different, youd think the phase would be different, if phase can truly point to amplitude

Let's pretend that we have three different signals in this picture, we should be able to use this picture to explain the concepts properly

Under my current thinking amplitude is not the same but phase and frequency are not.

If I get what youve been trying to say... these three signals have the same frequency but they are not in phase...on the Y axis...but are in phase on the x axis

Yes they are of different amplitude, which have nothing to do with phase, which in this case is ploted on x axis. 🙄

Take a step back, you've focused too much on something to the point to have lost point of references, the whole picture imho.

And no amplitude isn't a domain in itself. Time and freq in the case of analysis are but amplitude no.

When you hear group delay distortion..you are hearing a distortion to the start up transient.

Thats probably the point I'd make if I had one. This is a distortion to the amplitude domain...phase is separate.


I always thought they were in phase...I still do.... I was just entertaining mabats notion that he could determine amplitude using phase...but he recanted on that statement so we are back to what I've been saying the whole time....just until Geddes educated me, I used the wrong words technically

"Start up transient" how come Earl is only person I've heard use that term till this day...But you say I need to go back and read the textbook?

Tell me more....

I'm figuring this stuff out without even reading the book lol
It just makes sense to me...
Oh I get it now… The frequency domain is not even a thing because frequency is a product of time...So that only leaves the time domain and the amplitude domain....

Frequency domain
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In physics, electronics, control systems engineering, and statistics, the frequency domain refers to the analysis of mathematical functions or signals with respect to frequency, rather than time.[1] Put simply, a time-domain graph shows how a signal changes over time, whereas a frequency-domain graph shows how much of the signal lies within each given frequency band over a range of frequencies. A frequency-domain representation can also include information on the phase shift that must be applied to each sinusoid in order to be able to recombine the frequency components to recover the original time signal.

I already agree that there are multiple domains... phase and frequency are two aspects of the time domain.... we just have a bunch of people here who have never entertain the idea of an amplitude domain

When you hear group delay distortion..you are hearing a distortion to the start up transient.

Thats probably the point I'd make if I had one. This is a distortion to the amplitude domain...phase is separate.
