QTS - FAITAL

[miguelbassi]

Hi again from Argentina

I m the happy owner of 2 x J112 and they ve been sounding great since I built them a year ago.

Now I have on hand 2 x Faital 15" FH500 woofers, for wich I built 2 x ported cabinets using WinISD Pro. (about 100 liters and tuned to 45 Hz). Faital speakers give good results on WinISD compared to other similar brands like B&C

I m concerned about this woofer s low Qts value of about 0,31.... Does anyone know if this Qts figure can alter low frequency reproduction in a bad way?

Sonically, I noticed that this reflex Faital loaded cabinet has an excelent transient response with an extended low fq response; but the low end is not as "warm" as with the Deltalite loaded Jacks.
Is that warmth that I feel with the Deltalites some kind of desireble transient distorsion?

Any opinion about Qts values? Should I consider using a woofer more like in the 0,4 Qts range to get a "softer" "warmer" sound?

Thanks for your time!!

0.31 is not considered a low Qts. As for how it affects response, you already know that since you modeled in WinISD.

the low end is not as "warm" as with the Deltalite loaded Jacks.

The Faital are not horn loaded.

ok, thanks a lot then.

I thought that if I use a higher Qts value speaker, it would sound "softer" at low frequencies (something that I can not see in WinISD)
