Hi ! thank you very much for this very valuable information
I wonder if there are documents that explain why Dahlquist considered a good square wave response an important design requirement
Nobody performs this test today
Hi why noy making it even a 3 ways ? maybe i am wrong but the Philips cone can extend its response up to 3Khz without big issues ? From then any decent tweeter could complete the work Clearly this implies a rework of the xover
I would do it if only i had any idea how it works Maybe it is just a matter of changing an inductor ? i do not know
Not exactly. If you eq flat, you get pretty close to square wave.

Thank you very much indeed Very interesting article for sure
I understand that to get a decent SW out of a speaker is not easy
It would be very nice to get a decent SW avoiding a heavy processing of the signal
I wonder if it depends more on the xovers or the drivers themselves I have seen wideband drivers without crossovers behave nicely
In the end what i wanted to understand is if a good rendition of a SW is a nice thing to have And i think it is
Personally i would test first the drivers and see how they behave
Nobody does that Not just one datasheet reports any SW at any frequency Good !
In my area we say he who does it himself does it for three

impressive line of products indeed Nice to have designs/concepts that can be scaled up and down depending on the needed SPLs
I am set on a 3 ways and i understand that the selection of the midrange can make or break the result
I want to keep female voices all in a driver I am afraid i will end up selecting the driver by listening nice voices like this one

Mr. Marchisotto always uses tube amps, yet his room always sounds clean and musical.
Many rooms at this years CAF used tube amplifiers. Not to mention turntables as signal sources. Yet many sounded great.
This years best sound hands down was room with gigantic SL electrostats. They sounded like real instruments. Many other rooms had plenty of highs and mids, and bass definition and clarity, but you almost always heared crossover and all the phase shifts and multiple sources discombobularity. Only these sounded real. And no, sub was not needed.
I wanted to post it in that useless defunkt thread 'does it matter how it measures if it sounds ok'...but it got shut down for the amount of nonsense some members can spit out. So i hope you do not mind i post best sounding room at CAF 2024.

thank you very much for this very valuable information Tubes are off limits for me I have to do with solid state also because i am sure it can sound good
I do not like the bass with tubes But really now my attention is all on speakers
only digital and files mostly I am quite ok with the results If i had LPs i would make digital copies of them
Gigantic is a show stopper for me In order to get some coeherence at least in the midrange i am thinking to full ranges above a bass box
I will ask in the relevant section
you are more than welcome of course I am always eager to get information that in the end i cant metabolize completely
i am a strong believer in measurements And i have decided to invest in some instruments
i still think that the correct measurements can tell a lot I am a fan of distortion measurements and csd mostly along with FR of course
there is a magazine here in Italy that provide a graph of max output level vs frequency for a specified level of distortion (IMD less than 5%)

Hi just found in the web https://www.psaudio.com/blogs/coppe...ZiS-9yrlmIN_rG181gXE0MzDhLWHVoF2HfTyxSf3svFQg

Hi Mr Dave and thank you very much for the very valuable advice This is a very fundamental issue
i was not aware of the superior soundstage from mirrored speakers I was just liking the solution better for for aesthetic reasons
I have seen some mirrored speakers originally asymmetric There is no context The mirrored version is so much better looking
Beauty is symmetric and proportioned Very important point
Maybe a reflex port can be tolerated asymmetric ? not the case here
