Electro Dynamic Braking in Mirage M3-si


Hi

Can anyone elaborate what Electro Dynamic Braking in Mirage M3-si's 10inch woofer is please?
Or to point to a resource (brochure?) online where I can read/download about it?

This tech was also in M7-si but absent in top of the line (which is strange) M1-si (and also absent in M5-si).
Also, the first M series (without 'si') had no Electro Dynamic Braking on the woofer (none of the models).

I found this info in the original Mirage Msi brochure and I am very curious to find out what it is. 
Is this something to do/similar to servo controlled woofers?
Does it benefit the woofer control in real life? Why Mirage wouldn't use it in top of the line M1-si though?

many thanks

Marketing. At any rate it is a design that has been shunned by the vast majority of speaker manufacturers. Blasting sound all over the place is the best way to create confused room acoustics. Pedestrians like the effect. Look how many Bose 901s were sold. One of the worst speakers ever made. Us audio aficionados died laughing. What snobs we are. I actually have an older set of Mirage speakers. Don't remember the model. They are 3 way with two 10" woofers in each. I have 4 of them in my workshop and I have been blasting the hell out of them for 25 years. Speaker competes with 14 inch radial arm saw. I reckon I can't complain.   
Sorry I stepped on you toes meekeenz. But I did answer your question first. I said marketing. Dual voice coil woofers have been around for ever and if you hook one coil up the the other backwards all you will get is burned out fuses and voice coils. More BS is spewed about speaker design and mythology to try and distinguish ones products from another's. You can't find anything because there is nothing. It is all just a figment of some marketer's brain who probably does not know squat about speaker design.
