You can see an example of this in the graph where the Linear System line is what you want for a given input and the sloping line is what the speaker is doing at its output.
To overcome this you can inject more power if you know where this is going to occur - or you can build a different type of loudspeaker - one that has many drivers doing very little individually but a lot as a whole.
Big line sources like the Pipe Dreams, IRS, Genesis I and so on have a better chance of never getting close to this compressed state because you have so many drivers working at lower levels you rarely ever get to the compressed state.
Tomorrow let's start delving into SET power amps. many of you have asked me to say a few words about them.
What you put in doesn't always come out
