Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: ToneAudio Magazine will REVIEW the BOSE 901's SOON !

One can't help but wonder if a speaker has been designed correctly if two pair must be used and must be modified in some way to sound right or at least different. Two pair will set up phasing problems plus other inherent problems that may not be audible at first. The cost of both must also be weighed against one pair of better speakers.
This takes me back to audio's hay days of the 70's and 80's when speaker modifying was common place. It was not unusual to add felt strips to either side of the high frequency drivers to stop beaming on wide cabinet speakers. Another trick was to add more internal bracing and weight to the cabinet to lesson the boom that seemed to be built in to the speakers of the day.
Yeah the good old days, I sure miss them.
