You have 8 engineers in a company and you post this here. I can come up with 2 conclusions: 1) you are concerned that full range speakers are turning a corner and may cut into your products materially or, 2) you have no faith in your engineers to solve your problems with the concept.
If I were 1 of your engineers and read your post I would be in your office asking a lot of questions and making a proposal and likely venting and being insulted.
What you have done with no disclosure that you are a competing manufacturer does not sit well. I find it so very odd that as a manufacturer you would personally buy something of such a nature for personal use. I suspect it came company funds as company expense, likely against the r&d budget. As a personal speaker system, it would be an embarrassment to tell others when asked that you do not use your own product in your own system.
When I owned my stores no product I did not sell was in my home non-vintage system. If we dropped a brand, if I had a model in my system, it came out and was replaced by a current model from a manufacturer we were a dealer of. For certain customers, they were invited home for auditions and I would be embarrassed if so.e competitor's product was in the system.
When I was with Genesis their totl speaker was not as good as the lowlyest speaker I owned but I did have a pair in a 2nd system to placate the boss.

I highly doubt that a company like Def Tech would build a full range driver loudspeaker and if they wanted to the information exists in legion with just a brief google search. Its the usual AA response that manufacturers are somehow disingenuous shills.
Kloss, before I accept your blanket condemnation of High Efficiency Speaker Asylum members as always being mean to manufacturers I would like to know if we have made you feel rejected or mistreated.
I can't imagine that I have made you feel that way since I have always been shamefully approving of both your designs and craftsmanship.
Lots of wonderful people on AA I refer to the treatment the Def tech manufacturer recieved I have also noted others being chased away . Do understand AA rules and the manufacturer restrictions I feel are fair. Dont think I lumped all forum members into my post but the attitude I eluded to exists.
> Its the usual AA response that manufacturers are somehow disingenuous shills.
That's perhaps a bit of a harsh judgement, though I agree some of the responses were also a bit harsh. However, while it's understandable that an executive wouldn't have the technical chops to identify technical issues, it's also curious that his engineers wouldn't.
I know that I don't care for single driver full range systems. If the cone is large enough to deliver the lows it's also going to be too large to deliver the highs, if not on-axis then certainly off-axis.
I Might also point out that I would likely hide where I work in my profile if I really was trying to steal trade secrets to create a single driver product. Currently I am using the Definitive STS with my 300B amp and having fantastic results. It is 92 db and has a powered woofer section.
Aren't transistors alien technology?
