Post Subject: Funny you should mention smootherPosted by Bud on: 10/30/2007
Romy,
All measured tests for unsmoothed frequency response actually show that the violent peaks and valleys in frequency response, that driver mfg's usually will not show you, are just accentuated by EnABL.
A friend of mine, one Gary Pimm, pointed out that this might be the pistonic essence of the process, that it allows much greater changes of direction in energy flow than an untreated driver and so, does not have the reflections that the constrained energy emission driver does.
The things are definitly not smoother to listen to, but the coincidental energy that would, in real life, be contained within a particular transient peak of an instrument, does remain contained, instead of spraying about in some shriek of terror. For this reason thery are less irritating to listen to and quite addictive too.
