The midrange is the most important driver.

OK, I don't need you to believe the topic name. Just wanted to start a friendly discussion.

Among full-range, multi-way speakers there are usually at least 3 drivers:

  • Tweeter
  • Mid-range
  • Woofer
The most exorbitant prices are usually in the tweeter, followed by the woofer, then the mid. More or less. When I read discussions that are about tech-brands, it's almost always about the tweeter. Off the shelf prices in high-end speakers can vary from $40/ea. to $500/ea. with top of the line Be and AMT. Hard diamond tweeters are even more expensive. And yeah, I've paid a lot for tweets in my mains. Still, I think maybe all of us have been convinced that the tweeter is where we should spend our largest dollars.

Maybe it is the quality of the mid that determines everything else. It is where the vocals are, and how well it integrates and extends up and down the range determines everything else. From what tweeters you may use, to the dynamic range.

What do you think?

Best,

"Dimensional Purity......I love that. Have no ideal what it means but it sounds so audiophile that I feel like I should believe it. "....*LOL*

Absolutely...but I'm stuck between wanting to get on the street with a protest sign and a bullhorn...or.....watching the tube and *tsk*tsk*ing those that Are, hearing the talking heads trying to make some sort of sense out of it.... "WTF does it Mean?!  Story @ 11....Maybe..."

I'd copyright that phrase on Monday, srl....otherwise it's 'public domain' and subject to repetition on the level of "White Xmas"....

....another suspicious phrase that just Happens to be a song, BTW....;)
