Every time I've had to wrestle with pesky peaks,
and sought refuge in higher order cross overs, it has
ultimately come with a loss of sound quality.
That goes for both active and passive.
Today I favor a speaker that allows for
physical time alignment, and has components
that behave well enough in their required ranges
that simple first order can be used. If you need
higher orders, perhaps it's not the right driver?
And, as I have mentioned before, Dave's
Speakerformers are a divine tool for
attenuation whilst allowing much smaller caps.
Happy T-week, and good music for all!
