General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: Double face palm time, yet again...

Hi,

> Double face palm time, yet again...

Yup.

Stereophile review of JBL Synthesis 1400 Array BG loudspeaker which uses a 14" Midbass crossed over at 750Hz.

Stereophile review of Tannoy Dimension TD12 loudspeaker which uses a 12" Midbass crossed over at 1.3KHzHz.

Stereophile review of Tannoy Churchill loudspeaker which uses a 15" Midbass crossed over at 1.1KHz.

Not reviewed but very much worth a good listen is the Meyer Sound X-10 Studio Monitor which uses a 15" Midbass crossed over at 950Hz.

In the history of Studio Monitors many examples of 15"2_ways may be found, be they from Kinoshita, TAD/Pioneer, JBL, Urei, Altec and many others.

The example of the D130 with 075 Tweeter crossed over at around 5KHz is extreme, HOWEVER, as the tweeter has constant directivity at 40 Degrees Dispersion you may find yourself surprised just how well this actually works acoustically.

I have you here at a disadvantage of course, as I am quite familiar with such systems.

At 20 bits, you are on the verge of dynamic range covering fly-farts-at-20-feet to intolerable pain. Really, what more could we need?
