Yet we have hundreds of various speakers designs with parameters that vary greatly. At best, reproducing live music on a hifi system is sticking to genres that can actually fit into the window of the dynamic range of the best media available to us, the power of the amplifiers, the power dissipation and SPL levels of the speaker, the bass response and size of the room to allow for bass frequencies in the lowest octaves to develop, not to mention the skill and the potential of both designers and their finished product.
Good luck with reproducing a rock concert or an orchestra with 110db swings at home.
An acoustic guitar or a solo violin is ok but even a full range of the piano is challenging, 27Hz. How about a 5 string bass guitar at 28Hz? Organ at 8Hz, Tuba at 16? Nope.
We do ok but it’s no live music.
