Default What's your view of speaker crossovers?

Hi Don - yes, the majority are as above, but I'm talking single cone
here.


If you are referring to single units, then do you not mean frequency
correction and/or matching networks, not 'crossover'?

As to your original question: My reaction is to choose by the results. :-)

My impression is that making a single driver speaker imposes such demanding
constraints on the design and use as to be rather limiting. But then my
reaction is to prefer (phased array) electrostatics to cone-and-box
speakers, anyway.

Slainte,

Jim
