GURU Speakers

I have not heard these speakers, but other of Ingvar's creations. I have also spent some time with Ingvar and I am impressed about his knowledge about loudspeakers. I think the most impressive part is that he has examined just about everything himself. All the way from driver and box design to psychoacoustics.

For sure, there are lots of things in these speakers that are not visible to the eye.

BTW, I don't know if anyone has already said it, but I think Stereophile has made a review of the speakers.
 
Edit: Crossed posts with Shin, ditto what he said!

I think what Andy was trying to say about the "non-schoolbook" crossover description is that it not common English nor is it particularly descriptive. Surely the crossover, even if it does not follow any of the common "textbook" crossover arrangements, still may be characterized by its order of electrical or acoustic transfer function. For example, if the crossover uses a third order electrical slope on the tweeter and a second order electrical slope on the woofer, it may be accurately described as an asymmetric 2nd / 3rd order crossover.

In the end though, it is up to you how to describe your speaker, and how to sell it. Not many of the detractors here would consider buying commercially built speakers anyways. 😀

Good luck with your enterprise.

Aah, so you mean it's the language that is the problem?

From my point of view, yep.

Most people would understand textbook better. And describing the crossover as "non textbook" is a nice way of saying your using something a little different from the rest. Your not lying because your not using common transfer functions or rather, textbook transfer functions.
 
While I have your attention could you explain the quote on the home page:

“This must be what hell is like”

I do not understand this in the context given. I personally do not want my speakers to sound like hell.

Yes, hell = not good.

If your speakers are described as sounding like or provoking thoughts of hell then that's probably not to be used as a marketing tool.
