this of course assumes, with respect to the damping factor, that it is the major contributor in controlling the vibrations of the speaker, no. quite often, though, it represents but a small percentage, shall we say less than 10 of the system as a whole. I recall some studies some time back with Richard Davies I think who was able to vary the damping factor and it wasn't till around 10 or 20 that people were statistically able to determine a difference. Hence, it'd seem to me that going up by say a factor of 10, provides a rather decent margin beyond which it becomes academic and a matter for the copyrighters in sales promotions. That roughly 58% drop Bruce, in dB that would be what?
