Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

Well

Looking at the crossover design, you find that the 6.5" midrange is run to 5 kHz - waaayyy beyond its comfort zone like old JBLs.

You can count on the directivity at the top of the midrange driver's range to be shrunken (2.7" wavelength via 5.5" piston). You're likely to find "funhouse mirror" soundstaging with the transition to dome tweeter going from severely clamped down to wide open.

The ADS does not share that fundamental fault. It's 2.5" dome midrange crosses over to the tweeter at 4 kHz if memory serves. As one who highly values coherency, I'd most likely find the "Digital Audio Speaker" to sound weird.
