Bruce Thigpen, designer and maker of the high-value best-buy Eminent Technology LFT-8b loudspeaker, not only describes that speaker's crossover but puts a diagram of it on his website for all the world to see. Nothing to hide, unlike the maker of the most well-known magnetic-planar speaker ;-).
Should Manufacturer's Tell Us More About Crossovers
I recently purchased a pair of Vandersteen 1ci 's.
Their (his) philosophy is 15% cabinets 85% internals to produce a time & phase aligned speaker.
I know they've stood the test of time; so I was satisfied with their philosophy, track record and explanation that the crossover is 1st order and the speaker terminals hook directly to it.
But I wish I could know more, both from Vandersteen and other manufacturers about what is on the inside.
Am I just obsessing? Do others feel the same way?
