High Fidelity Sound Speaker
So 1929 - 2029 100 years. As we approach the centennial of the birth of Full Range speakers,, we should all by that time, 2029, have at least heard/auditioned/owned 1 pair of high end FR speakers. WE can all have a honorary tribute get-to-gether party for these masterful speakers at that time, 2029 No spikes, no resonances, neutral, no fatigue,,, yep thats what midrange is suppose to sound like. xovers hijacked the speaker industry. Car -jackings, how about speaker-jacking...

Thats all these big boxy high prced xover speakers really are tweet midwoofer dual woofers. vs my Dual Full Range + dual tweets There is no midwoofer from Seas, Scanspeak, Accuton, SB Acoustics that is going to out perform a high end FR in midrange. Even Troel's will readily and honestly admit to this fact. With dual FR at 93 and 95, I'm getting just as much if not more bass vs the big guns with their dual 10 inch woofers at say 70 SPL. In order for the big guns to get those dual 10's rockin is to crank up the vol to 85 SPL = now you run the risk of more LOUDNESS which equates to some resonsnces , distortions, fatigue. Theres no getting around it. A low sens speaker can not compete with dual higher sens FR speakers. At a 25% less gain on the linesage vol pot, I get same SPL as your xover speakers. ~~~25% ~~~ less, = higher fidelity , = no fatigue. Then if I go to 85 SPL on the FR duo's, you will need to match this same SPL by really cranking up the vol pot and the whole xover thing crashes down in LOUDNESS, which ain't saying much for high fidelity. Sorry LOUDNESS does not, nor ever did equate to high fidelity. FR duals , win every time, in every department/category. Hey Troels you listening??? Your Jensen Z cap xover just a single xover not the pair, just for 1 speaker,,costs more than i am paying for the VX8, and maybe throw in the VX 6 same what you are paying fora single xover with $$$$$ Jensen Z caps.
FR win everytime.

So I figured I'd pay Stereophile's pagea visit,,, clicked on speakers,, there isa list of new reviews, all 10 are monoliths, at 200-800 lbs EACH CABINET!!!! Nothing under $100K. Then again nothing over $300K,(hahahaaa). If you guys can't see, dont want to see, dont care to know what the hoot is going on with this new speaker revolution, Keep stickin your heads in the sand. All speakers under review have mustiple sens/ohm issues. Flawed , no make that seriously flawed speakers at millionaire prices, Ner a one of them can match my Duo FR speaker in midrange. Go figure. Stick a fork in it, its done. Finally this xover thing is in her last death throes, The fireworks show is going out witha bang. 60 yrs of xover types reigning as kings of the speakers,, her rign is now comming to a inglorious, ugly,,may i say distortedfatigued ending. ohh go ahead and keep kicking the old speaker can down the road,,have at it....you have the bucks they have your speaker

OK 2nd tweet added today, just uploadeda vid. If you prefer a very intimate, minimalist approach to a sound stage with your jazz, blues, stay witha single tweeter, a single tweet allows more SPL , vs a 2nd tweeters superior nuances in deatils whicha single tweet is too subtle and low keyed. But you can get crazy with the vol gain on the pot, dual tweeters will make it a bit congested over say 85 SPL. I listen no more than 65 SPL, so I'm good.
I prefer soft domes, but you can add any tweeter you like, ribbon, AMT, , whatever, Choice is yours.' Just make sure you do not bring it down below 4k hz, all T's start to breakup below 4k hz. I 'm runninga 8.2 uf cap and will experiement witha 10 uf, USE ONLY HIGH END CAPS, Mundorf SESGO or EVO SG's. Dont use cheap caps.
