The midi range, not the tweeter, is the most important driver in a speaker.


Grrr - I can't edit the title. Of course I meant "midrange."

Of course, this is not up for debate. I’m just posting something every real audiophile understands.

Yes and no for my speakers. The mid driver, 8” Seas Excel, covers 4 octaves, the tweeters, Seas Millenium, covers 4 octaves. I can’t hear the last one🤭.

Woofers have the first 2 octaves. Crossover at 92hz, and 1440hz. Crossover causes NO issues with amplifiers. Active crossover is between preamp and amps. Amplifier load is just the driver. 
To make K....t happy, no backwave to contain. Open baffles. Bass cancellation? No. Flat to about 24 in my room. Great energy in the all important power range. 
I built these in 2006. Designed in 2004 by the brilliant Seigfried Linkwitz. Orion 3.4. 
No mdf. Hardwood and Appleply.

No room treatments needed with proper sound dispersion. 
Mic drop.
J. Gordon Holt said it first and best:

"If the midrange isn't right then nothing else matters."

You tell 'em Gordo.  RIP.
The most important frequency to measure is 1842 Hz.  
Get that one right, and the rest will be fine.
Have you guys seen a  lab called
~~~~SB Acoustics~~~~ Denmark~~~ land of Class AAA speakers. 
??
I just made this monumental discovery last night, 
UNREAL. 
Thor's vs SB Neo driveers,,who will win??
I need 8 months to complete this projecft and will posta  series of vids with the challenge of 
SEAS VS SB Acoustics. 
IMHO it will be a close call, but my guess is SB will over take SEAS 20 yr old technology. 
SEAS is high tech, where SB is super high tech.

Ck out Madisound's kit for SB 2.5
Lots of SB Acoustics fans out there.


The parts are designed in Denmark but made in Indonesia.


Their Be dome caused quite a stir. Very smooth response for a metal dome.


I will say, being smaller, SB Acoustics has been innovating in a number of fronts especially compared to Scanspeak, SEAS and other more traditional makers.
So to be clear, If we're talking about a 2-way, the mid-woofer in my opinion, is more important than the tweeter.

My point is still the same: We focus way too much on the type of tweeters we use, and not on the driver that outputs most of the mids.

Thats because not everybody shares your opinion. 
kenjit, I have recently aquired a pair of ATC SM 40's. Absolutely Love them!. I am sure glad I have the woofee and tweeter  to go with the mid range😎🍸
