Ive heard that first-order speakers have limited dynamic range and higher distortion. Is this true of Vandersteen speakers?
Some compromises must be accepted with 2-way first-order designs. Vandersteen was able to overcome the assumed limitations of first-order speaker systems, while providing accuracy that speakers with steep-slope crossover networks cannot equal, by developing 4-way designs utilizing unique drive elements with unusually wide bandwidth. The Model 5 and Quatro systems further advance dynamic range capability, and reduce distortion, with built-in amplified subwoofers.
