The midi range, not the tweeter, is the most important driver in a speaker.

Grrr - I can't edit the title. Of course I meant "midrange."

Of course, this is not up for debate. I’m just posting something every real audiophile understands.

I think Joseph Audio's use of magnesium drivers shows this is possible. A combination of judicious low pass filter + notch filter can make these work, no?


The proposed solution does not really work. It gets rid of some of the left over phase shifted issues ...but...

Many who build mediocre audio systems think this.

Let's pose this question another way:

within the normal range of human hearing, how many octaves are typically handled by 1. the tweeter, 2. the mid-range, 3. the woofer?

That’s not a particularly good way to consider the question, because the ear’s sensitivity is not equal at all frequencies. In addition, the spectral distribution of the sound of a band or orchestra is not equal at all frequencies. That’s why the OP’s premise is so defensible.

Most of the music is in the midrange.
