Is Speaker design evolution stagnant
Based on what I read from speaker manufacturers, many use the same drivers but apply different crossover philosophies to achieve a particular sound.My simplistic understanding is that while limiting the range of high or low signals , the remaini...

Single driver vs traditional 3 way loudspeakers
FR speakers certainly have their limitations. They have a very specific sound signature that may not be to everyones taste. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~WEll if  we make the 20hz-40hz fq range a  limitation then yeah, WBers fall shot here. But again in ...

Someone mentioned WBers have some issues with midrange, bass and highs.Yes and no, there are beautiful sounding midrange WBers and then there are just OK/sos midrange sounding WBers.Obviously we are all only interested in top dawgs.Bass, I get pre...
