I really notice a little difference pushing the cone now that it's "compensated"
Perhaps it is that when I "sealed" them (I screwed the speaker) it was a day with atmospheric pressure very different from the current one .....
Now they seem SLIGHTLY "lazier"

I haven't auditioned them yet.
I'll see how different organ music sounds and I'll tell you ...
PS: Compensating will be easy if there is any difference, I have not yet used the equalizer of the Bheringer NX Edit software

In my case, English is just an understandable language with GT, which is fabulous, beyond some translation errors.
For example, subwoofer is translated as submarine !

It is an 18 " PA subwoofer and its XMax is 6.7mm. It comes back immediately, it also did before the " pressure compensation " but the travel was somewhat less than now. Which shows that the purpose was achieved.
Thanks for the test.
I, too, don't consider this to be a non issue. With non-paper cones, and proper construction using sealants and/or plastic moulded enclosures, it is very possible to inadvertently create an enclosure that is hermetically sealed. This means that the air trapped in the enclosure has no way of adjusting to the air outside, and you end up with an exotic barometer/ pressure gauge. Ambient atmospheric pressure variations will have an effect - whether or not they will be significant is a different matter, depending on how much headroom you have with regard to the coil and suspension excursion limits.
The 1 mm hole drilled into the enclosure is a very good idea, but it needs to be located carefully, especially in a commercial design, else some over-enthusiastic salesperson is going to cover it with a fancy sticker - and you're right back where you started. I recommend drilling that tiny hole in the plate used for the speaker connections.
Of course, if you really want to go nuts over it, you could use something like this:
Brass Pneumatic Silencer , M5 - 2" Air Muffler For Pneumatic Valve

Similar situation here!I must try harder!

A sealed speaker does not need a tightness similar to an underwater capsule, as I already mentioned.
I have also mentioned the three weak points where there can be leaks.
Leaks are extended in the time, think in a tiny nail inserted into a tire. (modern, tubeless) and too weak to show the difference in atmospheric pressure from one day to the next.
That's why SL recommended the hole trick.
And yes, after a sudden change in pressure from a sudden storm, it can cause the cone / VC not to return to its perfect home position immediately.
The hole will make it faster. Only that.
It is not audible at all, doing it was a "perfectionist" type of satisfaction for me, what is the problem if it makes me happy?

Well, tweeters are usually sealed and isolated from the internal volume of the cabinet, so it wouldn't matter at all ...
Tell us which tweeter is the one you have seen failed and the mounting of it in the cabinet, give us details.
Here is an example of how a gasket without a perfect seal can cause a catastrophe, luckily it is not my case ...

I've just spotted that post. Thanks for the information, it is most helpful to our mutual understanding.In my case, English is just an understandable language with GT, which is fabulous, beyond some translation errors.

I noticed earlier that you referred to the "wing" of a loudspeaker and I presumed that should have translated as "surround".
