Maybe we... someone... anyone can come up with a chart and modifiy it until there is a concensus...I agree that it is near impossible to make a system sound truly "live", but I still say 5% is rediculously low. Edison's 1st phono may be 5%, but Wh... 
Dear Fellow SC IVA owners
Pryso, you are thinking right. A very basic description would be, Stepped baffle is putting the tweeter behind the same plane of the woofer to align voice coils. (kinda like a stairstep) That is why I called it voice coil alignment in my earlier p...

Hi Pryso, the wool was strictly diffraction control. I agree with you on the subwoofer points also.

Hi Fas42, If you can accept the explanations that Atmasphere, Mapman and Weseixas has added to what you have stated, I find it acceptable(like that matters). Their combined inputs do explain the entire list of questions that I asked about why diff...
