Speaker Design

Nice to see George Short given mention.

I had him hand wire custom crossover networks for a DIY project using his top line parts. The improvement has been nothing less than phenomenal.

Brought the point home to me that crossover assembly and parts quality, as an independent variable from network design, can make a huge performance difference.

I would guess no. More effort will be put into voicing the speaker than the mathematics of the xover design for a given box and drivers would suggest. Since each of the three designers are just like the rest of us with different tastes, perceptions and prejudices, the final product will most likely reflect that. That's why, IMO, different products sound different.

Nrchy, you jest?!

3 french chefs making cream of carrot soup,with the exact same ingredients...would it taste the same???????Life ,like sciences are variable....there is no absolute.

I'd want Richard Vandersteen designing my speakers.....
