D'Appolito on What Matters


For anyone interested in evaluating loudspeakers and measurements thereof I found a very recent (November 10, 2016) article by the good Dr. Joseph D'Appolito. A man who quite literally wrote the book on speaker testing.

I share this knowing it will start endless flame wars, but still hopeful some will find it informative.

Something to mull over.
There is a question to be asked with D’Appolito speakers, that have the critical midrange handled by two drivers.
For them to be free of any type of problems, the two drivers that are doing the same job, have to be 100% T/S matched and work in absolute unison to be effective in producing those midrange frequencies as good as one driver can do.
I’ve never had two speakers measure identical T/S parameters even from the same batch.
