Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

"Once you go dipole you never go back."

The "swarm" approach recommended by Geddes (and used by many before then) has merits... and disadvantages. I personally feel that dipole bass radiators deals with room modes better because it does not excite them to begin with. It's also a much simpler approach, only requiring two "boxes" rather than six or more. Using many woofers requires a very low crossover point (greater group delay), etc. IME. YMMV.
