Hi, Edgar. For sure back EMF is a factor in driving "FR" loudspeakers with amplified audio signals. It looks like this guy is trying to sell more efficient motor/generators? Have you figured out how to apply this idea to loudspeakers driven by amplified audio signals? One can hear differences with differing A/V clipping curves with amps I've played with. Loudspeakers are +/- reactive loads, which we generally try to avoid with motors/generators in industrial applications. There are crossover tricks that aim to make life easier for amps, but the real trick for me so far has been what I hear in the end.

Best regards,
Paul S
