Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

TY. Herron was working on a large full-range speaker years ago...

...that I heard at a CES/THE SHOW. Maybe he gave up on those.

My A3s right now could use a dB or 2 more warmth and maybe a dB less treble, but first I'll get the L-pads in so the filter points get back to 'normal' (which, of course, there's no such thing with a different tweeter in the system).

I did play my most-transparent recordings the other nite (the first with the SoniCap Platinum tweeter caps), and they seem to be as transparent* as any system I've ever heard. I'm sorely tempted to replace the tweeter's third-order HP filter with a first-order one, but my speaker-design skills might stretch to about 0.5 on the 10 scale; probably I'll leave that good-enough filter alone. Sometimes 'good enough' is indeed good enough. IOW, probably I'd be unable to make a better-sounding filter for the tweeter.

* I define that as the sense that there's only 10 of 20 feet of air--that is, NO intervening electronics or transducers--between me and the musicians, so that one can hear EVERYTHING.
