I am intrigued by Sean's observation that complex crossovers, designed to flatten impedance curves, tend to suck the life out of the music. The man is always loathe to name names, but would anyone care to identify some speakers with very simple crossovers or no crossovers at all? In addition to single-driver designs, of course.
Impendance - Resistance & the story of "Z"
Can someone please help a non-engineer understand the difference between the two with regard to cable deisgn. (Aren't they the same? Is it me or is the use of both terms somewhat confusing?)
Reading a certain manufactures literature, it states that lower "Z" in a cable is always better. Is this really true and can someone explain why? They have an interesting graph showing their cable with a "Z" below 1.0 and all other cables tested with "Z" above 1.0
Just looking to understand. Thanks.
