Well as I posted on the SET topic,,,
The DIYers wish that we all keep to a correct tag for these speakers, aka Full Range = FR
When in truth they are not really FULL -Range
Truth is these mysterious drivers are Full-Midrange-speakers with added bass, added highs.
Sure I am not speakering for all other FR speaker manufacturers,
But as we know from Joah over at Madisound.
Quote: **you can get 2 of the 3 but never 3 of the 3*,,
Josh mentions its not his original idea, he borrowed froma speaker geek.
While we were discussing the fantastic Seas Excel line of drivers.
So why bring this up?
AER/Voxativ/Cube (we will leave out TB, Fostex, Mark Audio at the moment)) all 3 majors, do not have drivers that can excel in all 3 band widths.
The law of science, physics, says it is not possible.
Close but no cigar
Yeah I know Voxativ, Cube and AER all claim, 20hz - 30k+++ hz (AER says 80khz,,huge RED flag there).
Lets say the big 3 go down to 20hz, and all 3 up to 20khz++.
OK, Now what about the midrange??
Well?
Do the 3 get stars in midrange performance?
Impossible.
The law od speaker physics says , you can get 2 of the 3 but never 3 of 3.
So what the chinese geek did was this
He gives you good bass (all depends on what map/recording you have playing) , gives good highs (depends on amp/music recoding you have), and excellent midrange.
What, or why do we love Full-Midrange-Speakers?
A: complete total mid band width/seamless, linear.
Thus the need for added assist,
I have not heard Voxativa's higher end wood cone driver, nor any AER, not Cube.
But as speaker physics go, 2 of 3, never 3 of 3. Somewhere their drivers are not any better than my much lower priced Davidlouis.
DavidLouis is like a fine Bordeux, which as we know mixes different high quality grapes together to make a nice balanced blended wine.
One very smart tech there in the DavidLouis manufacturing plant.
Which is why ho did not make alot of models as does all/every FR manufacturer.
To me thats a big fat red flag. Whats their issue, they can't get it right??
True DavidLouis is a 2020 design. All other labs speakers are now 5-20 yrs old.
The DavidLouis is the latest/newest FR on the market. ,, and IMHO the best bang for the buck.
Hope that helps explain your curiosity.
