Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: I have some rules ...

Hi and thanks for your valuable reply
Just to be sure to understand rightly, you mean 100 Hz ?
Seriously i am convinced that the statement of 4 ways minimum to cover rightly the all audio spectrum, with conventional drivers, is very right
So a 3 ways is always a compromise
But i am always wondering about the best solution for midrange range
I know, for instance, of speakers with exceptional sound relying on big dome midrange crossed with the woofer at around 5-600 Hz
And i could think to build a satellite with a dome mid and tweeter.
It would be also nicely compact.
Then i see instead many high end designers preferring a big cone midrange
But usually crossed at around 120-150 Hz
To get the mid down to 100 i need a very robust driver, like a good 8"
I guess that at 100Hz the signal is still very powerful
Last thing i would want is distortion in the lower midrange
As i said this is a fundamental design choice
I think i will go with a bigger satellite in the end and cut it at 100 Hz as you recommend
Thanks a lot again.


Kind regards,
bg
