Re: Speaker design philosophy

12.40.63.146

for us simple minds
a low distortion 10 inch driver puts out cleaner
bass than a hard working 6 in ported driver

carefull overlap of the multiple drivers with a simple
x-over yields better speaker performance dollar-for-dollar
(why Henry K usually wnet with 2 way designs)

newer cone materials do not necessarily give better results
-sometime "different" result - not necessarily better

the essence of the Vintage Asylum is that we recognize
"good sound and good design" = when we hear it age- not
withstanding

I used to likethe older ADC 303 and 404 speakers- they were simple and sounded good - for their size and price / but not fancy design

I used to lunch with Peter Globa the head speaker engineer of
HH Scott- some of his designs still sound good to me
using off the shelf drivers from Rola-Jensen, CTS , and Utah
