In Reply to: Dunlavy types vs new technology posted by jeremy on September 27, 2001 at 12:42:31:
I've owned conventional dynamic speakers, ribbon/planar dynamic (magneplanar), electrostatics and electrostatic/dynamic speakers, and finally, a pair of speakers with a horn midrange and a paper cone woofer with a pleated paper surround in a Jensen-Onken bass reflex cabinet. In terms of the age of the technology, my latest speaker has the most "primitive" technology. It is by far the best speaker I have owned.The best speaker I have heard is a custom system utilizing Western Electric drivers from the 1930s.
I have never found that the technology employed or the design philosophy (time-phase alignment, first order crossover, non-resonant cabinets, etc) correlates with sonic quality.
