How to design a high end crossover…
@wolfie62Specific to bass reproduction.I just received 5lbs on 12 ga inductor wire yesterday, 14, 16 etc coming. I have two lathes and am building a setup for the small one to do this on. This will help out with costs when you make 4th order, spec... 
A full range speaker?
@mozartfanYes, I'm thinking of stripping my system down to some killer headphones and some bass shakers mounted in my listening chair. 😉All kidding, we’ll most, aside, I have tried listening to my headphones and subs in my studio, an interesting e... 
A full range speaker?
OHM,People often have to check my pulse to see if I’m still alive, I'm so laid back…LMAO! 
A full range speaker?
My subs are a pair of two subs in opposition boxes, an attempt to correct drivers out of position without servos. KEF R 400B’s.They say 10”, but I don’t think they are that, they certainly don’t measure that. They are completely room position depe... 
A full range speaker?
The Floyd were the first band to introduce me to heavy deep bass overtones, subsonic vibrations and the like. I love that part of music, and a fair part of my collection of music reflects that. 
A full range speaker?
@oldhvymechWe have been talking about the multi sensory experience of listening to music; aural and tactile. The speaker, to reproduce, or should I say convey, the live experience. An aural and external exciter and a, oh what’s the word I’m lookin...

This photo shows one of their designs that incorporates cheap to expensive inductors for their specific attributes, and bottom drawer to top shelf caps.It's a science that’s an art.http://www.humblehomemadehifi.com/services/assembly_99.jpg

Oh heck yeah. Below is a link to a free online circuit calculator for a third order Butterworth, and this has no Zobel circuits or notch filters.  Second link is to Humble Homemade HiFi for pictures of some of their more advanced x-overs.https://w...

@teo_audioYes, the highs and the mid’s are where you open your wallet and let the supplier take the money out, and thank God for that, since the higher in frequency you go, the smaller the mf needed. It's the difference between being familiar with... 
How to design a high end crossover…
I don't doubt that. My studio stereo has one built into the amp, and it's just amazing. It's a Yamaha pro love audio unit, and fiddling that part of it from time to time, it just amazes me what digital can do, and I never thought I’d ever use that...

@teoaudioMy dream job, if I were still working, would be in high end audio. I truly understand what those people must go through, day after day now.Create a crossover, love it until you hear George Harrison’s voice on All Things Must Pass, and get...

Opps. 1.2mh inductor, foil, Goertz, $43. 
How to design a high end crossover…
A: Yes it is, and no, it isn’t.To "design" a crossover you need many more types of inductors and caps in a specific range to zero in on proving the math to be true by ear. It’s an art, after the science.An example would be, a 1.2 mh inductor, air ... 
A full range speaker?
@motzartfanIt’s fairly simple in the end, the elusive balanced tone.Driver relationship and harmonic fidelity are more dependent on surface area than ability to reproduce a particular tone at a geometric relationship to surface area. Your sub surf... 
A full range speaker?
Full range is a quadratic equation. If your mids and tweets are 100 watts, your subs have to have 800 watts and four times the surface area of the mid’s. And this is an area where class D amps don’t cut it, in my experience; so double that to 1600...
