High Fidelity Sound Speaker

Crossovers are not superior they are an intrinsic problem in which success is measured by the least damage done. High sensitivity is also, when are other aspects are equal, superior. Issue at hand is what sacrifices must be made to  achieve results.

Problem with FR is that they are never full range and they misbehave at frequency extremes. If you cant hear this then you are the one with the problem as the design is intrinsically flawed in this regard. Running a midrange or midbass driver full range also limits output. Add to this the problems with dynamic drivers and you get a better more objective view of the issues involved.

Sorry but your attempts to "dumb down" these complex issues just dont hold water. Too many experienced members on this forum to buy into your gross oversimplifications and inane generalizations. If there was one ideal speaker this would be the speaker all of us would own.

No more Friskies for you!

Thank you audition_audio, well said. I would add though that I think that this has been an especially arid period on audiogon, and I love to check in on this thread for entertainment. Always some kind of absurd unsupportable hyperbole from mozartfan.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Xovers are a flaw add in low sens, another flaw Dont believe go read through Troels Gravesen’s pages on his web site. I never said, in fact ad naseum repeat, FR = full rich detailed Midrange. a FR is not be all end all. I;’m PERFECTLY!!!!!! very happy they are not Be All End all, all fq’s from 10 hz t0 40Khz+++++. AER claims 80Khz,, in their FR drivers,,????

I dont need nor want my Fr to go below,,say 40hz,

50hz is perfectly fine. above 12khz, is all I want/need/demand Ya know I got to chuckle at the xoverlowsens fanatics,,

how they have no idea what they are missing out in midrange..and the prices they pay,,wowowo And these fans of low sens/blood sucking xover style speakers, will never undersatnd what I am saying. They can’t,,understand, they refuse to grasp what I am saying. its just too funny everytime I listen to my FR. I know what they are missing, and I know what I have. Musical genres,. light jazz, blues, folk classical,. I would not trade in my FR for any xoverlowsens speaker in the world. Not even for Troels Gravesen best of his best designs And as we all know, Troels makes the worlds finest speakers, with his Jensen Z caps. No doubt interesting speakers,, but no cigar.

"I would not trade in my FR for any xoverlowsens speaker in the world."

I told you that you'd say it again!

Put a fork in me!
