To the degree a loudspeaker is accurate...

Posted by tomservo on April 16, 2023 at 08:04:40:
To the degree a loudspeaker is accurate, meaning it's reproduction of the input signal without error, the greater the number of generations one can pass a signal and still be "listenable".

They don't do "generation loss tests" with loudspeakers because each pass highlights what's wrong and it's unusual for a speaker to go more than 3 generations vs electronics which pass many generations.
