| The best speaker you ever heard? the Evans Model One but this Model One with no crossover and full range is just spectacular This has been my experience as well. Tom Evans uses a Jordan JX-92S driver? IMHO there are even better options than the Jordan. | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? I used to say "flat frequency response". While that it important, there is such a wide variations in FR of the recordings I listen to, I couldn't get a flat FR unless I eq'd each recording.There are some others like:1) Consistent sound between dri... | |
