Your advice to speakers designers
Yeah. Besides, by definition speakers cannot look too good in a usual sense. Or electronics really. Well, some might like Rowland's shiny boxes or Absolare leather wraped cases. Not me. I like the look of Focal Utopia, some Kharmas, and Lansches w... 
Audio repair in Houston Texas area?
What seems to be the problem of shipping the bloody thing to Japan? I am going to ship my amp to Australia soon. Yes, I can have it fixed in many reliable places here, but the designer himself will do it in Melbourne and will charge less. Shipping...

Your advice to speakers designers

Your advice to speakers designers
Duke, my hypothetical questions would not be of someone looking for particular speakers but of someone interested in how speakers can be built and what it takes to make them sound good.I don't know a thing about crossovers but I am always suspicio... 
Your advice to speakers designers
So, what kind of questions should I ask a speaker designer to see if he has a good idea of crossovers and their implementation? 
Your advice to speakers designers
Though every element and the interaction of them is important, my understanding is that drivers are the single most important element. I don't want to pay thousands for nice finish, give me great drivers first, nice finish can be optional for thos...
