Acoustical treatmenst?
Not my interest.
I'm into near field, small room listening.
I should have stated this at the beginning.
Some of you have cathedral size listening rooms, So testung results may vary from my room acoustics.
Also note, many of you listen at high db volume. This is yet another factor, I listen at a comfortable low db.
However I did crank up the vol on the last video and there was no break up, no distortion at all with the tiny 6.5 Diatone.
You crank upa xover low efficiency speaker, the sound will attack if not assult the listener, small room or large, does not matter.
Over the years I've never been impressed with any traditional xover designs, most were just obnoxiously muddy, polluted the musical image.
These wide band Diatone, $110/pair, really have out performed in most areas of speaker characterists if we add all up together.
The Seas Thors, which represent the finest old school drivers, in the world, just can not hold up against a wide band/no xover driver.
I have no idea , can not comprehend why FR/wide band is not the main topic interest here on Audiogon these past 10 years or so.
I imagined if only i can upgrade the Thor xovers with high quality Mundorf caps, now i will have a reborn Thor.
Wrong, the nuance was ~~miniscule~~
Thats when I on my own, decided to ck out FR/wide band.
Once you auditione a wide band driver, you'll never consider going back to old school.
I guess it all comes down to different ~cups of tea~
