speakers with a "smooth" impedance curve

Trelja,

I tend to agree with your point regarding excess energy in the presence region - sometimes it seems to me that it's almost ubiquitous in high end loudspeaker designs. But... I've never particularly associated this with models that cross to the tweeter at any particular frequency. It's always seemed more universal.

I'm not familiar with some of the technical issues at work here and therefore don't follow your point re: impedence rise vs. crossover frequency. Is this rise associated with the crossover network itself or do you refer to some other phenomenon?

Thanks in advance.

Marty

Duke, I wasn't implying that your systems use filters, your systems sound great and I know you pay a LOT of attention to all the details.

Thanks for the compliment on my crossovers, Guy who does the final crossover work is a true genius and I'm fortunate to have worked with him for all these years.
