Frequency response + or - 1 dB ??
@ptss It's a matter of preference and each recording itself has a different balance so the response of the speaker should be adjustable not fixed. But audiophiles dislike adding anything in the signal path.

Well, it didn't happen. When I was done, it was a truly dreadful sounding speaker. It was probably not measured properly and not really flat. Why else would it sound dreadful?

you can but only at one point in space

Horn speakers and low power tube electronics all have their own technical problemswhat are they?

@geoffkait  The dynamic range is independent of loudness.If you are playing at a low volume then that will define the maximum loudness which will limit the dynamic range

Would it be possible to measure this increase in voice coil resistance by measuring the resistance with a multimeter before and immediately after playing loud music through the driver?

then the not so small issue of changes to crossover behavior as voice coil temp increases.  All the best and most expensive speakers still use them. It can't be that bad.

@gosta They are for studio use not home. They are designed to sound accurate rather than pleasing.  
Speakers under $50k that rival $200k+ speakers?

I dropped in to an audio store that I was passing by today and listened briefly to the Paradigm Persona speakers (which I’d auditioned last year more extensively). Nice. Clear. Didn’t move me at all. the acoustics of an audio store would not be th...

The new Vinberg monitors, will be a huge step up from Pulsars..HUGEThat is impossible. The only huge step up will be the price. The josephs use a well braced box. You cant get much more rigid than that and the audible difference would be negligibl...

I have tried using several active speakers in my home rig but they were all musically unsatisfying to mewhy do you think that is?
