Should Manufacturer's Tell Us More About Crossovers


I recently purchased a pair of Vandersteen 1ci 's.

Their (his) philosophy is 15% cabinets 85% internals to produce a time & phase aligned speaker.

I know they've stood the test of time; so I was satisfied with their philosophy,  track record and explanation that the crossover is 1st order and the speaker terminals hook directly to it.

But I wish I could know more, both from Vandersteen and other manufacturers about what is on the inside.

Am I just obsessing? Do others feel the same way?

Of course you're obsessing, it's what audiophiles do through no fault of their own :) Nice manuever Erik, I certainly hear you!

On a further note, there should be no reason for a successful manufacturer of a finished speaker design to reveal anything more than is required for said manufacturer to remain relevant in the marketplace, IMHO. Inquiring minds may want to know but do they really NEED to know to make a purchasing decision?
