New tech in speaker design…
If you watch widely across YouTube, you can find Kenji at Kenrick’s Audio demonstrating wire directionality and speaker diaphragm design as well as redesign of classic JBL. You can find diy guys designing open baffle designs with a variety of speakers and baffle shapes. The early work by Voxativ was ground breaking if not always dramatic improvements in cone construction and baffle design. There are some discussions by Chris who designed the FR30 discussing the design. And there are installation videos of their installations including full assembly positioning and tuning.
Single driver designs have come a long way, cross over designs continue to develop.
Is anyone here contributing to speaker design? The Viking Acoustics L’Instrument speakers are in V3.0 now, use large handmade horns, resonator in the rear and David the designer is constantly innovating across his speaker range.
If you do the research then you will look at Aries Cerat, and many other designers across the globe. Devialet for example, of course they are segment or category specific in this case commercial.
Technology and skills continue to develop as do electronics and designs.
