Default Anyone Remember Gale's Chrome Ended Speakers?

Getting past the "toaster" comments, the reason the Gales have an
excellent midrange is the Peerless driver they used is optimized in
the crossover- there's some serious audio engineering that transpired
in the design. The crossover points are outside the vocal
bandwidth. The list of speakers that don't crossover between 400 and
4 kHz is a very short one indeed.


400hz to 4 Khz is approx telephone quality. It may be the most important
part of the speech band for intelligibility, but it's nothing like the
whole 'vocal bandwidth'.
