Who do you want me to answer?Liking my posts doesn’t constitute answering them, @presscot.
I think I already answered all of those whose replies were related to the topic.
Designing the crossoversI’ve read the entire thread without discovering what it is you actually want. Are you designing a crossover? Choosing drivers? Building a cabinet?
FunnyHa ha.
So you ask a question ("Can you...?"), then proceed to discard any honest replies that deviate from what you want to hear (i.e. it MUST be, "YES, you can").
Suit yourself, then. Logic and reason need not apply to this thread.
You should have read the previous posts and reckoned why I replied that to that poster.
Yes, it’s crossover’s phase response.Best phase response of what? If you mean crossovers, the answer is yes.
Yes, this is my question. 🙂How would you know if you had it without measurement?
Me. I want you to answer my posts instead of just liking them. Seems perfectly clear to me.Who do you want me to answer?
You hadn't used the word 'crossover' in this thread until I asked you about 97 times.I think I already answered all of those whose replies were related to the topic.
Near enough in theory using textbook transient perfect 1st order and the pioneer's polar matching response XO points that will put them in their respective ~ pistonic mid bands well away from the driver's Fs, breakup modes BW, then in theory all that's left is in room level matching, which anyone with good hearing can do to suit, which in theory leaves nothing to measure, though a good plan to have an equalizer/DSP to deal with room acoustics, whatever.Can I obtain the best phase response without performing measurements? If so, how to achieve it?
Also, how did the speaker manufacturers in the 70s and 80s (pre-1985) manipulate the phase response at that moment?
Measurements allow much more design flexibility, accuracy of course, so from a purely technical POV it's 'best', but having done the vast majority of my DIY this pre T/S, affordable electronics way with much success, 'best' for me was folk's VERY positive response(s) to them.
Not sure I follow, though many decades long before the '70s there were some manufacturers with all the necessary test gear to do these measurements and any knowledgeable DIYer can flatten one from Fs to as far as one can measure it with a series notch filter and reactance annulled zobel network.
