AMEN. Look backwards from any driver after a crossover and let me know exactly how high (or low) DF can be a meaningful figure of merit. dave

I hope so - my CAT JL2 and current amp have tiny little DFs, yet I had/have well controlled, tuneful bass. High DF might very well make my speaker sound constipated.
