The midi range, not the tweeter, is the most important driver in a speaker.
It's more interesting to discuss in term of midrange driver size.  Some people prefer smaller size mid for speed and clarity.  Mine has to be at least 5in large so they can better integrated to the 8in. bass at the low frequencies for example.  Al... 
Does anyone play two pairs of speakers at the same time?
I much prefer having of one pair of large speakers than having three pairs of small ones lols.Anyway, coming from DIY world, listening to a lot of speakers does change your perspectives.  I used to watch Siskel and Ebert when I was a kid and found...

Playing with speaker position and room acoustic will yield differences that swamp what you’d get switching around digital sources.(And btw, I’m not in the camp that says every digital source sounds the same). That's missing the point though.  E... 
BEST HARMLESS/SIGNATURELESS SPEAKERS CAPACITORS.
Damn ... those are some real serious speakers ... I am afraid to ask how much ... like asking how much a Ferrari costs.  If you have to ask like they say ... 
Blown away with 2 speakers hifi sound!
Music and equipment are one intertwined combination - one cannot exist without the other.  It's inevitable that one listens to both music and equipment at the same time, simultaneously.  The phrase such as "listen only to the music and not the equ...

Someone pointed me to Bang & Olufsen Uni-Phase xover design.  At least based on theory, the filter will be able to achieve 0 degree phase shift across the frequency band, hence the name Uni-Phase.  I have not seen the step response but the squ...

Do you pair travel as a pack just posting increasingly condescending remarks on various threads? I think the online world is getting more and more vicious and eventually won't be that much different from the real world.  It's unfortunate.  The ...

As I said a few posts above, I believe that one of the differences in sound signature of first-order filter is that high order filter, there is a faster change in phase, which results in excess overshoot and undershoot in time domain. And the reas...

I was playing around with a three-way mock-up. Basically I use a setup with what I already have. Making the cabinets would just take a lot of time. The tweeter is ScanSpeak AirCir, Seas Nextel 5.5in. as mid, and Scanspeak Illuminator 5.5 in as woo... 
$27,500 for whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat???
The thing was $65. So i don’t know what’s worse, a $27,500 paint job, or putting in a $65 mid in a six figure speaker, even worse, both! You can look at it both ways:1. The SB woofer is way underpriced.2. Or the Wilson is way overpriced. Or both ...

Will they bring a hot blond that will fit my preferred measurements? I do my own spaekers lols. 
Which to Upgrade first? My Amplifier or Speakers
It’s hard to say it’s the speaker or the amp. One has to determine the bottleneck of one’s system. Everybody’s system is a bit different.Personally I am not a big fan of Maggies. I think they do well in certain aspects, but I don’t think they have... 
$27,500 for whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat???
Yes, it's all relative.  When I just graduated from college, the only thing I could afford was a $200 dollar receiver, and I looked at some pre-amp combo within $2.5K range and I thought those were "unobtainable".
