@james633  Jim2,   thanks for sharing. I watched the YouTube video. I demoed the duette when it came out a longtime ago. Too long to remember the details but I do recall being impressed by the bass.    let us know how the final product turn...

Folks, you should be able to see 5 different frequency response measurements in the initial post, including a spectral decay measurement.  I can see them. If you can't see those, let me know and I will repost, linking to a different source for the...

@hilde45 I wouldn’t have Danny "fix" a Fritz speaker. That’s like asking Thomas Kinkade to touch up a Leonardo. I get it. It can be a lot easier to dismiss than it is to seek. I’m sure many would scoff about messing with a Wilson Audio product...

@erik_squires Also, hands down, Fritz makes a better sounding 2-way speaker that don’t require crossover upgrades. Erik, this may be of interest to you. You might find it worthwhile to reach out to Danny regarding the "Fritz Carbon 7SE" speaker...

@roxy54 Sorry for the misunderstanding. On my PC no pictures have come through. I’m glad you find it of interest. I messaged you a link that may help you see the images. I’ve found this process to be very illuminating. In fact, it’s really help...

@testpilot Was that your speaker used in Danny’s video? Yes. My buddy is also having a set of the revised crossovers done.   
Big speakers, are they really the best way to get great sound?
@inna  Rats in the maze. coltrane1, they can't "Go big". Noise... outa.   
Big speakers, are they really the best way to get great sound?
@lemonhaze wrote: @jim2, That is one of the best posts I've read on this, you summed it up beautifully. There are some manufacturers of speakers who have a model or two just below their flagship full range speakers that use the identical mid ra... 
Big speakers, are they really the best way to get great sound?
@inna However, stand mount speakers plus two subwoofers could be considered full range system too, though a lousy one. This is complete and total nonsense. In fact, a great 2-way speaker, placed / setup exactly where they need to be and combine... 
Big speakers, are they really the best way to get great sound?
With larger speakers, more money is being spent on low frequency extension... extension that interacts with the room... extension you usually cannot adjust for the room / placement. When you think about it, large, floor standing speakers without l... 
CODA amp No.8, Bryston 4B3, or Ayre VX-5 Twenty
@hsounds Regarding the AX-5 integrated / power difference... which other Ayre amp were you comparing it to?  Was it the VX-5 Twenty?  I have interest in the AX-5 Twenty and EX-8 2.0, as. single box solution.
