Cones And Dynamics


.
I've heard that Magnepans cannot match the dynamics of cones or box speakers. Is it the cone or the box that contribute to the dynamics of a box speaker? Do ribbons contribute to dynamics in a box speaker? What physically limits the dynamics in Magnepans?

>>What physically limits the dynamics in Magnepans?<<

Their efficiency for one thing. Have a listen to some box/cone speakers rated in the low 80's and see what you think.

>>Do ribbons contribute to dynamics in a box speaker?<<

Depends. They do help with the harmonics in the upper freq's.
