Danny Richie "fixes" the Linkwitz Arion loudspeaker

For some time now I have been directing those interested in loudspeaker design to Danny Richie’s GR Research Tech Talk Tuesday videos on YouTube. Here is his latest: an examination of the Linkwitz Arion loudspeaker. You may be asking yourself: if Siegfried Linkwitz is the genius he is touted to be, how is it Danny found the Orion to be lacking, and was able to find solutions for it’s failings? I’ll leave that to you to answer. In the meantime, after watching and listening to this video, you may want to watch all the Tech Talk Tuesday videos. They may just make you a more informed loudspeaker consumer.

What's ironic is all the hand wringing about design, then using the equivalent of lamp cord for the driver's, or worse, for speaker cables too.  Talk about a losing proposition.

How can the LInkwitz be the perfect speaker, when the Vandersteen (time aligned) is, er... the Magnepan (panel) is, er... the (insert favorite value speaker here) is!   ;) 

It's very important for the audiophile to think they have found the perfect speaker.

bdp24, no, not intended to be a comment in regard to Danny R. at all! I rather enjoy his creativity and prowess at speaker design. 

I was commenting on the proclivity of some (which you will notice, if you observe) to go for the theorized "perfect" design, build it themself, then completely ignore the cabling. It's not the end of the world.   :)
