You know, I've always wondered if Acoustic Suspension and Infinite Baffle were exactly the same principle or if there was some difference.. I suspect that a woofer in Acoustic Suspension design has a looser spider and higher compliance since the air restores the excusion, whereas infinite baffle may be a large sealed enclosure where a perfect seal is not as crucial?? anyone else?
Infinite bafflement?
I was just reading a review of the Linn Ninka loudspeakers, and noted that their design is described as "infinite baffle," which seems to mean that there is no port. Is this the same as what I used to know back in the day as acoustic suspension, or is this an altogether more modern and different beast? Thanks.
