Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

To each his own

And yet the BBC LS5/8 with a 12 " woofer and 1.25 " tweeter crossed at 1800 Hz worked quite well.

Empirically, the woofer's directivity clamped down big time attempting to reproduce a 7.5" wavelength with nearly double the piston size. That will necessarily be a funky octave in a most critical range where virtually all instruments and voice are found. I'm sure the tweeter took over quite well with a far wider pattern. Discontinuity.

Even from a planar with large surface area there are significant problems.

I don't seem to mind the *significant problems* with my U-1PX speakers. :)
