Why do different speakers (drivers) that have the same size, ratings and frequency responses sound different from eachother?

476 views

I consider myself an amateur audiophile who is obsessed with having a variety of speakers and headphones that all have their own place for different types of music.

That being said, I’ve never understood how each one can sound so different and be better at certain things when some can have the exact same specs like size, ratings and frequency response. I’m sure housing has something to do with it, as does the material the diaphragm is made of. But even then it still doesn’t make much sense to me.

Edit: when I say frequency responses I mean on paper.

Thickness of the material, types of magnet used, the resistance of the copper wire used in the coil. Weight of the frame, how much air inside the speaker cavity. All of it matters when it comes to speaker build and sound quality
