Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

Re: Can we agree...

that Jean-Marie and Linkwitz are not magicians, what they are is really really great at DIY. They've studied speakerbuilding enough to know how to make great sounding speakers and they've studied business enough to realize that to manufacture speakers successfully one should use the least costly items in order to arrive at that speaker in order to increase profitability. I wonder what they could do with exotic drivers like true ribbon tweeters and plasma tweeters. Have you had the chance to hear the Meadowlark Nightingale? Plasma tweeter and it sounds phenomenal. Pat McGinty is a great designer and he started out as a DIYer. DIY is fun and much cheaper than commercially available equipment. I believe that with the proper knowledge a DIYer can put together a speaker that suits their own needs and spend maybe ten times less than if he searched for that magic speaker in the Hi Fi shop.
