Speaker Asylum

Only a clueless audiophile like you could claim one needs 2 bass drivers to cover 2 octaves 25 to 100Hz.

You are entitled to your misguided opinions.

Since you can't defend them with facts and logic, you respond to those who challenge your opinions with character attacks and the appeal to authority logical fallacy.

Well, since you just LOVE pontificating about professional and industry experience, how about using the best products that result from that experience to shoot more holes in your claims?

Based on the opinions of audiophiles, and audio magazine reviewers, one can simply observe what are regarded as the finest home speakers in the world ... and one can plainly see that very few use two different bass drivers and a crossover to cover the 25 to 100Hz. range, a range that you claim can't be reproduced well by a single bass driver.

I merely observe what the best speaker designers in the world do, then compare what they do with with your claims, and point out that for you to be right about needing at least two bass drivers to cover the two octaves from 25 to 100Hz., almost all of the best speaker designers in the world must be wrong. That's a strong tide to swim against.

So now I have incorporated professional and industry expertise into my analysis of your bizarre claim, simply by observing the best products the engineers in the audio industry can design. And it certainly appears that two bass drivers are rarely used for these two octaves -- it seems that one carefully selected bass driver can cover the whole two octaves (and usually more). Sometimes there are two or more bass drivers used, but all are used from their lower limit to 100Hz. or higher.

If observation of professionals, by looking at the products they design, is not enough, I would also like to remind you (again) that almost all live popular music is played through speakers, usually PA speakers with more serious sound quality problems than home audio speakers, except they can play louder.

Your comparisons of live music with music coming from home speakers is quite meaningless, unless you are referring to live unamplified classical music, which can never be reproduced perfectly at home because our home listening rooms are so much smaller than an auditorium. It wouldn't matter if our home stereo systems were "perfect" -- recorded classical music reproduced in a home listening room, even with a "perfect stereo", won't sound the same as live music played in a big auditorium.

And you remain the Forrest Gump of audio.
