In Reply to: RE: Where does the sense of neutral openess really come from posted by airtime on April 24, 2016 at 07:05:07
There are many methods by which this can be achieved. One of those methods is probably NOT reducing the corner frequency of a tweeter crossover to 1K. It can be easily measured that distortion of most tweeters will increase significantly at that low a frequency when even a small amount of power is applied. The garbage harmonics might seem like more and better highs, but you're really hearing noise and false detail, anything but neutral and open.However one goes about it (beefier PS, better cables, better amp, higher resolution source, more and better drivers, better crossover and enclosure, better room, better recording), reducing distortion will always produce more open sound.
Peace,

There aren't many speakers with a crossover point of 1 KHz. Even Wilsons are mostly around 1.5 KHz. What speakers are you thinking of?
The OP mentioned xover between 1K - 2K. I agree 1K is much too low. That was my point. What's yours?
