What is it about the "jump factor" that only expensive speakers get close to "real"?

I like their tone colour but they bend far to much .
To get real pistonic power in a large cone you need a Honeycomb design OR something like that

Tone is interesting, I think people are used to some warmth/distortion in bass and a really good low-distortion woofer and amp sound maybe a little unnatural at first because it is TOO clean sounding.

Overhere audiophiles are most ly after midrange and highs , a real good kharma speaker regarding. Bass got hardly sold , instead that danish popularbrand went much easier. The one.With hardly any bass Raidho.
A couple of weeks ago i walked in brussels hifi store new music .
The Maxx 2 seems to be there Just for Decoratio, a speaker i like with great bass.
Magico s seem to be more populair, the owner actually did the demo i really liked in Amsterdam with zanden.
I think he might be in for a listen to my system in the future as he likes cat too

It is amazing how much distortion people are accustom to.
