Here is a perfect example of some people liking the addition of gross distortion to their systems. These distortion synthesizers have useful output down to 10 kHz which is audible and will make a system sound brighter.Nice try, but a proper tweeter is not a "distortion synthesizer" and it no more "synthesizes" output than any other speaker driver.
... people who do not know what they are listening to prefer this. However, it is a fine way to destroy accurate imaging.How do you know? You don’t know any details about the specific components. Of course, I recognize that you think you know how something sounds just by looking at it, but thinking something and knowing something are two different things.
... most audiophiles do not know what accurate imaging is. They have never heard it.I think most audiophiles are lot more knowledgeable and experienced than you suspect.
The addition of complexity to loudspeakers is always a bad thing.That depends on the speaker. The Infinity IRS is a complex system that sounds great. I’ve also heard simple single-driver systems that sound awful.
The Dahlquist DQ10 is a perfect example. From a tonality perspective they were wonderful but there is no way you can get them to image properly.Actually, the DQ-10s could be improved enormously with the addition of Dick Sequerra’ supertweeter.
"Want your digital to sound like analog?" Give me a break. Red Book CDs are quite capable of producing 10 to 20 kHz and that is all you are hearing if you are 19 years old.Huh? There is much, much more to proper playback than just keeping response extended to 20kHz.
Mysticism does not belong in audio. It is not a religion.It’s odd that you would state that after promoting some of your faith-based beliefs, much as if you were a wanna-be mystic.
