Need speakers that can rock with just one watt? You found da place.

RE: Are you really of the notion

more simply:

Acceleration = Force/Mass

Same force, high mass → low acceleration = low SPL
Same force, low mass → high acceleration = high SPL

The relationship (for first order effects) is independent of frequency.

Or if you keep mass constant and increase Force then you get higher acceleration = High SPL


It is the acceleration that creates the pressure wave, not displacement and not velocity the rate of change of velocity (acceleration) creates the pressure wave and it's amplitude (SPL).

So, in a word...acceleration defines sensitivity...how you get that acceleration (low mass, high magnetic strength etc.) is the balance played in driver design.
