Listening to a live performance versus a typical 6.5" midbass low efficiency loudspeaker will answer your question. The brain does process peaks. This is what is called dynamic reproduction and this is why hi-efficiency is needed for accurate reproduction of dynamics.
Trying to achieve that with a hifi is a dead end… once it is recorded the game is lost.

My preference, yes (both treated). FE108eS would make a good midrange thou. A bit soft on the top and needs a big box to do any bass.

Will sure give a try with the FF85 and the 10F as they are affordable.
i'll continue the pre-selection process in the upcoming weeks then will slowly start the ''real'' test somewhere in august and september.
If anybody pass by Montreal at this time and is willing to do the test, feel free to send a PM 🙂
Dave, no system in the physical world can have instant tracking of a square wave/90 degree edge. Gibbs phenomena shows you "pre" and "post" ringing with any phase linear (true to input) system. With a high order filter you can chose to have phase distortion and a step that looks nicer on the scope. This will delay the harmonics compared to fundementals though.
Audio is better judged with the ears though than with the eyes.
With a 88.2kS/s system (done right) it does not matter much if you us linear or min phase. The in band response will be basically flawless technically and audibly.
Gibbs phenomena will not change much in the future, neither will the Shannon Nyquist theorem.
That may be why i changed my ATC's to 99db fullranges somewhere in my life. Without any regret.
Thank you for the link.
According to the author and our test needs, i should try these:
Tang Band W3-1878 3"
Fountek FR88EX 3"
Pre-selection list update:
Scan-speak 10F
http://www.scan-speak.dk/datasheet/pdf/10f-8424g00.pdf
and 12MU
http://www.troelsgravesen.dk/Illumin...MU-8731T00.pdf
Tang Band W3-1878 3"
Fountek FR88EX 3"
Fostex FF85wk
Bower & Wilkins FST driver
Do i forget something ?
I think each contenders should have at least 2 votes, does it make sense?

I would add the PRV 5MR450-NDY

Just updated the message no.1 on first page with the Pre-selection list.
Will make more update as new info/confirmation arrives.

i'm surprised nobody mentionned the Visaton B200...

I believe PRV uses former Selenium engineers - FR88ex is tough but even with 300W/channel, sound can't reach 1/2 way across my 28x18x8 room - little speakers don't work well for myself - a BG20 with whizzer removed might make a curve almost as good as B200 - don't know if the motor is "great" BG20 was a bargain at $24 but now is US$38
I'm with you on the wine analogy. But you're arguing with technologists, and there will be no end.I'm new on this website.
And it seems i brought wine to the campfire (and a tank filled with gaz, some might say..)!
That's kind of new, isnt it ?
