Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

Re: All factors even which is better metal or soft domes?

Well I guess all of this rules out CD which has a brick wall at 20khz so extending beyond it is irrelevant - so are we talking SACD? The cheap new Quad silk dome supposedly has .1%distortion to 50khz usable.

No human can hear above 25khz and I bet almost everyone on this forum above the age of 30 won't hear above 16Khz and most probably not much above 13khz.

I am more interested in how the drivers match and how cohesive the sound is - and I would bet it would work best if the drivers were a close sonic match as possible. I don't hear it with metal tweeters and polypropolen midwoofers nor do i hear it with Electrostatic panels and woofers of ML and I don't get why it would work with a Ribbon and a kevlar or other woofer.

I suppose i would be interested in an ALL ribbon speaker like Quad does with the Stat panel - but I would want one that has impressive macrodynamics not just microdynamics and deep bass response to around 25hz and be able to play deep bass dynamically and loud.
