So the more you spend on the drivers, the better the speaker must be. So all i need to do to get the best speaker in the world then is give Zalytron a call and order up their FINEST drivers and their THICKEST boxes. Will do. To think-- I've been listening to 8 dollar woofers all this time! That must be the problem. (it DEFINITELY is if you ask Elliot). It's just-- my friends Arias had the accuton tweeter and outboard crossovers with all kinda fancy components and DAMN they imaged amazing!!! That was about the extent of it.I'm gonna give Vince Bruzzese over at Totem and Carl Marchisotto over at Alon a call. Wait till they hear they could build a MUCH better product than theirs just by putting super-expensive Raven tweeters and Cabasse woofers (at 800 bucks or so the pair) in a couple of 10 inch thick boxes. They'll be stupified as to why they've been spending so much time designing these damn el cheapos. Oh, and PSB in Canada wont be needing that state of the art anechoic chamber and NASA level computer set-up they've been using. I mean, with an 8 dollar woofer (or thereabouts) what could they hope to accomplish? They need some accutons!!!
Incidentally, I spoke to the owner/designer guy at ACI a while ago. I have heard (and I like the Saphire 3 a lot). I asked him some of these questions. He said just about what I'm saying, (though less sarcastically than I've said it). He also said he found it very difficult to design properly coherent speakers with some of the "fancier drivers". He said that the drivers were all very good in their own right--great measurments-- but just didnt integrate into his designs well. That's kind of the problem with miss america too-- great measurments, buuuuut.....But Joe D'Appolito (?) is MUCH more famous and I'm sure he can do it better.
