In Reply to: What causes some speakers to be fatiguing? posted by Christopher Witmer on August 27, 2007 at 16:34:39:
Christopher,
There are many things that cause a system to be fatiguing but they maybe hard to identify or define. The ones I’ve encountered the most are:
Yack, which is caused by either a voice coil\cone breakup interaction or some undesirable horn\driver interaction or poor crossover choices. I had a lot of trouble with yack in trying to build 15†to horn speakers. I’ve heard yack with several single drivers too. The JBL 123A used in the Century monitors yack without a 1 to 1.5mh choke. I’ve found clean electric guitar to be the best source to use when chasing out yack. Try Robert Hunter recordings.
Brain darts are when one experiences a piercing sound in the middle of the brain with high frequency sounds. This tends to come from bad tweeters or tweeters played too loud. Poor balance and\ or Titanium diaphragms can be a cause too.
Synergy, not all system combinations work well together. An amp that sounds great on one speaker might not on another. We mix and match to find the balance we like, a lot of time with out knowing or caring what the exact reason we like something.
On average titanium dome tweeters are the most fatiguing devices that are common in audio. On first take they can sound good but after a while are annoying.
YMMV
