High Fidelity Sound Speaker

Here is what I call High Fidelity Sound.
Sorry if you have issues making a  determination

**Ohh YT compression,,,ohh comp speakers can reveal the actual in room listening experience,,,, cheap cam micing...**
WEll I can.
This is probably the very finest sound I've ever herad froma  spaker.
Thing is, fouund this video while continuing my research on my next speaker build
Fostex Sigma 8 + Fostex Sigma 4 
The Sigma 4 is in this video.
No doubt,  and now i understand what you guys were getting at about **The whizzer thing** making unwanted resonances.
Got it
Agree.
No whizzer.
Project should be up by may 2022.
Going to sell the DLVX8
TB2145 Good
DLVX8 Better
Fostex Sigma 8 The Best

I'd like to see any xover type design beat out this Fostex Sigma 106.

You have capacitors providing a high pass to the tweeters, so how is this a crossoverless system?  
Even if the fullrange drivers are used full range (no lowpass filter to that driver), there is a crossover to the tweeters.  I’ve heard quite a few such systems, and they can be quite good, but, like any design, there are all kinds of complications compromises—I would expect a lot of interference between the multiple drivers in that setup.

I won't comment on the sound of a video (pointless), but, what I see is a two-way employing a wide range driver in what is probably a transmission line enclosure and a bullet tweeter on top.  This type of speaker can be quite nice sounding, but, nothing is earthshattering or revolutionary about this approach.  In my system, I utilize an almost identical Fostex horn tweeter; it is an okay device, but, there are plenty of other tweeters that also perform well.

I have been surveying the best restaurants in the world by looking them up and then smelling and licking my iPad.  I can reveal all I know, but it would be too exhausting starting dozens of threads and drafting hundreds of sentence fragments for each.

I have not heard the BD5, but, the lesser models in the line that I've heard were fantastic.  I can only wish to hear a properly designed speaker with that model of driver.  

Another good full-range driver, whizzer cone and all is the 10" driver in Cube Audio speakers.  I recently heard their Basis speaker system that utilizes this driver plus two active woofers in a bass cabinet sitting below the cabinet with the 10" driver.  This was a terrific sounding system.

There are quite a few examples of really good full and wide range drivers used in all sorts of systems, I don't understand why someone must insist that there is only one or two ways to go in this approach, and insist that this is the ONLY approach that delivers great sound.
