Speaker Design


If you take three speaker designers, say Dennis Murphy, Joseph D'Appolito, and Albert Von Schweikert and give them the same cabinet and drivers and tell them to design the crossover.
The question is will the three speakers sound the same?
How do you think they would sound differently and in what areas would they sound alike?

It's impossible to answer this question with any degree of accuracy. The speakers should not sound the same. Crossovers make a huge difference. In this context we don't know if they are going to be shooting for a state-of-the-art, or meeting a pricepoint. I would guess the one Albert von Schweikert does would sound like crap, just like the rest of his products!

The materials used in the crossover will have a huge impact on the sound, and the crossover points and slope will affect the sound as well.

BUT since all amps sound the same, I guess all speakers should too...
