contact 'Peter Gunn', as he has a pair of 2.7s and loves what they do.

Is his pair not converted to two-way?
I don't know about 1.7's but the 2.7QR's were 3-way's wired up to use a 2-way crossover.
"At this time I am not going to reveal what we did or how we did it, but we were able to make a 2 way out of it without removing anything."
The whole story, http://www.integracoustics.com/MUG/MUG/tweaks/peter_gunn/2.7.htm
The woofer, mid & tweeter panels are still there. The mid and tweeter are (with the help of the x-o) integrated to work as a single driver
That is a really strange 2-way! Such a wide "tweeter" must be very directional.
Classic Peter Gunn. Paragraph after paragraph of silly rhetorical nonsense and zero real information. How does anybody take this guy seriously?Regardless, the OP noted his 2.7's did, in fact, image well at one time. It shouldn't take a modification/redesign to recapture that. Some aspect of the speakers has deteriorated and is probably in need of repair.

Because the end product speaks for itself."Regardless, the OP noted his 2.7's did, in fact, image well at one time. It shouldn't take a modification/redesign to recapture that. Some aspect of the speakers has deteriorated and is probably in need of repair."
Of course, you are correct. What can I say, we got a little carried away :)

Is turning the 2.7 and 1.7 speakers into bastardized two-way designs because you don't understand how they work considered good end-product engineering??
Regardless of the end-product, the silly rhetoric is not appropriate from a "manufacturer" who, I assume, wants/wanted to be taken seriously.
That 2.7 post is now nearly ten years old and I gather the number of magical 2.7 revamps he performed could be counted on one hand. Is that a successful end product??
