The DSP depends upon knowing how the speaker is going to behave, shaping the output of the amp to take that predicted behavior and make the actual response flat. The problem is that much above 100 Hz, and there becomes too many variables, happening too fast, that it's impossible to flatten the response of the speaker with the same level of accuracy which is possible with a much slower moving target.

If you think about it, the room correction software in modern receivers is attempting to accomplish the same thing--with the added variable of room response thrown in. You see what a mixed bag that is.

Additional: Although I would love to see Axiom make affordable mono-block amps targeted at their own speakers. Maybe with a mounting system to which directly attach them in a safe and secure manor. So you run a power cord and an RCA or XLR connection over to each one.
