Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

If you keep the DCR same, the coil gauge is way too small

If we could get air cores that have same DCR in a non- dental floss gauge, we wouldn't need cored inductors.

In a hobby that has members convinced they can hear the direction of the fabric bias on cotton wrapped speaker wires, then when actual measurable sonic degradation is identified, same members scoff. Most have probably never even held an inductor.

Appreciate your input, but I'm confident in my understanding of the need to avoid cored inductors, except in cases of needing low DCR and below 200 to 250 hz., or it's a fix for a friend who owns a JBL 100, cored is a gigantic step above the "no inductors here bass,midrange crossovers"
