Subject: Re: Distortion is caused by much more than just excursion limits


I agree whole heartedly. I mostly said that to keep things simple because most distortion that causes a real problem comes from people overdriving their speakers, or overgaining their amps. You saw the length of my relpy, could you imagine how long it would be if I covered all distortion?

Yes, distortion can be caused by standing waves, cancelation, phase misalignment, small wire, poor connections, bad airflow even. But most of that isn't a huge problem unless you are going for a perfect setup, otherwise, it is usually no difficulty to overlook.

I hope I did not mislead anyone to think that distortion is ONLY caused by overdriving the system. It's just more commonly a trouble area that way.
