Anyone hear the Caravelle speaker and not like it?

Eldartford..if you invert the phase the amp is still out of balance with the speaker because of all the crap hanging on one leg ..doesn't matter which leg..Tom

Pal, I have the Caravelle and I LOVE this thread.Please keep it up. (It all WARREN fault,he was the first owner.) I`ve been Happy every since I got them.)

Theaudiotweak...Unless the amp is bridged, or is one of the new digital amps, the output is unbalanced anyway, and I don't see how location of the crossover would affect it.
If you really think this is important it would be easy enough to split the crossover components between legs... for example: a 4 mH inductor could be implemented as two 2mH inductors. Such a crossover would look PERFECTLY symetrical in a schematic. You can't say that about a series crossover because either the woofer or the tweeter must "come first".

Actually I think all this is academic, and good crossovers (to the extent that any crossover is good) can be made either way.

Try what? Imagine what? Create what? It's all been done before.Its all black and white..No shades of gray ..no color...boundaries ..no boundaries.Who'da thunk it, its purely academic. Tom

Pal, I'll answer your question of tubes or solid state having heard the Caravelles with my Krell and Scotts VAC, go with tubes...the musicality, inner detail and lushness is the best. I have to admit, I have never enjoyed my Krell more than with the Caravelles because of the sweetness in the tweeter, the voicing of the midrange and the big, 3D sound stage. I have owned Watt/Puppy 5.1's, B&W 801 Matrix III's and now the MAXX from Wilson and truly the musicality with the Caravelle was the best.
