From my point of view, DSP is pure fun. But that's me!

I enjoyed the fun of it, measuring, programing, etc... But, i can't help wondering what's the use of killing mice with nuclear weapons...🙄

Maybe for a project belonging to the Linkwitz saga, Pluto, Orion , LX xxx etc... you have no choice, and fortunately enough DSP is more convenient than ASP...

But then again, what's wrong with an humble fullrange driver?

With or without feeback, class A or whatever, tube, mosfet, or state of the art bullchip, Zen will be Zen...:ghost:

I wonder how much people here have non DIY high-end speakers 30-200KEUR?

Most high end systems I have, or I have heard/measured in private listening are FAR away from perfect text book engineering point.

Primary purpose of comercial high end audio is not recreate what was recorded, but rather create ilusion of reality. I must admit i have never heard any active (analog or digital) which turns my skin goosebumps on. very clean, very tight,its fne for electronic musics, but clasical,jazz ,vocals misses that "direct sound"Devil is in the details.

That's one of the greatest things about DSP: you can make configs otherwise impossible (read: not optimal at all)

... a match between a 3fe22 and a 18fh500 in an... open baffle (!)

... matching real subwoofers with less-than-8in-fullrange/wideband

... having a 950PBbe crossed at 400hz... Hornless (!!)

Did i mention the pure fun thing ?

I once played with a Morel UW1058 with a Jordan JX6, and had to come to the conclusion that a subwoofer is one of the most unsophisticated sounding piece of gear on earth...😀

PD: I also blew that pair of JX6, me who had never burnt a tweeter in my life before...😱

Once crossed with a steep slope (say 48db/oct+) you can pretty much push any fullrange/wideband driver that has a Fs of 120hz or less and decent xmax from about 200hz. Which makes things somewhat easy to match with most subwoofers. Needs help with EQ, of course, but very doable.

Also the steep slope on lowpass's subwoofer helps a lot. If you brickwall a subwoofer JUST before he starts to sing, you're good. 😛

just don't let the m***&/ker start to sing. :mummy:

In my whole life, my whole life, the worst subwoofer driver experience i had was with a so-called subwoofer from... Morel.

That company shouldnt be allowed to sell ''subwoofers''.

Few people really experienced a clean, effortless, 1st octave. Not that easy, i can tell ya.
