Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

Most speakers are poorly designed

Even the ones with jaw-dropping build quality. That being the case, there are a number of "giant killers" that have design quality high enough to put their performance up there with less well-designed speakers double or more their cost.

There are plenty of very expensive speakers made by very poor designers. Goldmund anyone? From their site:

"This together with the use of hand soldering processes in Switzerland, completely metamorphoses the concept of speakers construction"


Really? Swiss "hand soldering" is revolutionary construction? Garbage designs made with no consideration of diffraction... for 6 figures, I want major issues like diffraction to be properly managed. There are plenty of much less expensive speakers that DON'T have this problem. Some exist that don't have diffraction issues for less than $100.



Bass is supposed to sound big. 6.5" is not a woofer size.
