HOLY SUFFICIENT EFFICIENCIES BATMAN!Driver efficiency is greatly increased, especially at the lower frequency end of the operating spectrum. This is where all drivers are under the most stress as lower and lower frequencies cause them to travel back and forth greater and greater distances. When they reach their mechanical "excursion limit" an abrupt onset of distortion is the byproduct. Once again, impedance matching comes to the rescue! As stated above, properly matching the impedance of a power source increases efficiency and therefore wastes less power. Greater efficiency translates to much lower distortion, incredible output level and an extra benefit. The bandwidth is wider than virtually all other systems. Our "Millennial Reference Series™" boasts a crossover frequency to the woofer below 1000 Hz.. That is over two octaves lower than many other systems on the market! Such a low crossover frequency implemented utilizing a driver with a one inch diaphragm is almost unheard of. The acceleration potential or "rise time" of such a small diaphragm covering the entire upper half of the vocal region lowers transient distortion to the theoretical vanishing point. Diaphragm break-up modes, as such, do not exist. The long wavelengths they are composed of cannot propagate within the body of such a small diaphragm area. The result is the acoustic equivalent of a "perfect piston," transferring its energy of motion into the air with the entire vibrating surface moving back and forth in unison. Now you can finally hear crucial midrange frequencies that are the embodiment of the human voice and other instrument tones -- without all of the distortion and "coloration" that woofer cones (including exotic carbon graphite, kevlar, etc. types) produce trying to operate well outside their "piston" region.
