Now this I would like some clarification on. There is a certain amount of inertia inherent in a driver's movement - the more mass a driver carries, the harder it is to "turn it around" as it goes from push to pull and vice versa. This is why midrange drivers are smaller than woofers, and tweeters are smallest of all... the smaller a driver, the easier it is for it to push and pull at a higher frequency.
Now does SVS use a lighter - but yet as rigid - material for their 12" cones? If so, why not use it for the 10"s as well? And if not, how exactly do they make a 12" as fast and tight as a 10"?
I think the bottom line is technically that is correct, but in the end (the sound that reaches the human ear and then processed by the brain) it just gets to be very hard to tell the difference. Esp since volume differences, freq response etc change the perceved result.
