Have you ever wondered who sets the trends in the hi-end speaker industry?

Have you ever wondered who sets the trends in the hi-end speaker industry?

Analyzing the modern market of acoustic systems, we can note the fact that acoustic systems are built on the basis of more and more complex crossover filters. And now it was proud rather than a negative fact...

Then why do you buy super expensive wires when inside the speaker system, your qualitatively amplified audio signal meets kilograms of copper, nihrome resistances in its path.
And what is the output? Phase shifts, nonlinear distortion, etc. and as a result, a "lifeless sound"

The frequency cut of tweeter driver in modern audio systems is in the average range from 2.5 to 3 KHz. This means that tweeter driver playing unusual for its desig frecquency range.... And actually it’s very sad, due to the fact that people have no choice...

Add the fact that more and more are used artificial materials in the design of elements of speaker drivers, which negatively affecting timbre characteristics of sound. After all, we have long forgotten that the timbre of sound determines the musical expressiveness

Now ask a question who creates trends in the world of speaker systems?

The industry is now run by large groups whonare swallowing up brands and large dealerships/distributors who dictate to these groups what products they want.

Then they'll employ well known designers within the industry to oversee product development, but sharing platforms and parts, much like the car industry. 

High End hifi is becoming very generic, but I do see alot of interesting small brands coming thru, esp loudspeakers. Maybe in response to this

It is not obvious at all that the post you refer to is stupid... But your is certainly so....And mine too, because a reply to a stupid post is on the same level of stupidity indeed, then I apologize for my stupidity, perhaps this will set an example....This is my excuse for my post.... :)
