but here is a cut & paste from one of my posts. It was part of a thread about dampening factor and it's importance in the speaker/amp interaction. Bold Eagle over at the vintage forum has impressed me with his knowledge of speakers (even if we like different stuff). Lowthers are picky drivers. But when they are right they can be quite nice.
(In many systems the amp's DF will be irrelevant to the final system response because of the series resistance added by the speaker cable and the passive crossover components. Speaker designers should always be aware of the source impedance from which their speakers will be driven so that they can compensate for the source impedance in their design. If in fact your goal is to design a speaker system that will have a net response Q(tc) = .707 then you will need to anticipate the Rg (source impedance) the driver will "see" and design the enclosure for some lower Q(tco) such that the Rg will raise the NET Q(tc) to the targeted 0.707.)
