| True high-end Speakers need a midrange @erik_squires wrote: You can’t get high output AND low distortion without a midrange driver. This rings true with direct radiating dome tweeters in 2-way designs, but when you load a fitting, relatively low fs down tweeter with an 8-10" ... | |

| Big speakers, are they really the best way to get great sound? @daveyf -- Indeed, we listen for different things in our setups. That’s as it should be, or certainly that’s how it is. As I mentioned previously I’ve listened to the Guarneri’s at a couple occasions, and they’re very good speakers, I find - rela... | |
| Big speakers, are they really the best way to get great sound? @daveyf wrote: While the speakers I had the pleasure of hearing definitely seemed to not portray what I felt were the same level of specific detail and intimacy that other smaller systems I have heard can; I do agree that a generalization cannot... | |
