I have corrected the date and added the AES reference to the article. ~KvnG 14:44, 20 January 2015 (UTC)

Woofer only?

40-some years ago I built a cabinet with full-range air suspension speakers. I seem to remember that wide range acoustic suspension speakers were fairly common then. This article implies that only woofers use the technology. Is that reasonable? 99.245.230.104 (talk) 05:59, 18 January 2015 (UTC)

Popularity and efficiency

1 - AS remains extremely popular. Saying it was "once very popular" is a misconception. THX satellite speakers for instance are required to be AS.

2 - Voltage sensitivity is a function of the driver, not the cabinet construction. Bass reflex loading vs. AS affects only the bottom of driver response.

The image on this page is a great one💗

I understood the concept immediately from looking at the image 💗💗💗 96.227.223.203 (talk) 21:23, 7 September 2023 (UTC)
