I wonder if this speaker could be a good example of limitations of DSP and EQ? Clearly some things cannot be fixed.
The ragged response is likely primarily the result of cabinet diffraction. That's an area you cannot EQ effectively, as it would simply get worse at other angles. Not sure what you mean by limation of DSP. A passive speaker without DSP is far more limited than an active with DSP.I wonder if this speaker could be a good example of limitations of DSP and EQ? Clearly some things cannot be fixed.
Why would you say that? Just because of this one example?I wonder if this speaker could be a good example of limitations of DSP and EQ? Clearly some things cannot be fixed.
I meant nothing against DSP or EQ. It's just that it cannot fix everything.Why would you say that? Just because of this one example?
Others eg Neumann KH150 clearly showed what is possible.
Well, they have had highs and downs.Always suspected they were more an "audiophile-y" company than a serious audio fidelity one.
They are if a note hits them. I think that is the reason its performance is so variable, sounding good on some tracks but not others.Would those small resonances and jagged line be audible?
Definitely not a tweeter/driver. It is a 3-way design.Is that a dome tweeter in a small waveguide or just some injection molding thingy ?

Perhaps listening up close could unravel this mystery (to me) ?

And price over... pretty much everything IMHOForm over function.
B&O went wireless some time ago. I would think most customers never look in that access panel as they simply plug it in and use the B&O wireless system.Yeh, I meant to note that as well.
I think Ice Power is no more part of B&O,they are a different separate company for some time now.Or, more recently, the ICE Power amp modules.
The Beolab 90 uses a tweeter array. The Beolab 20 uses an acoustic lens.It's interesting to see the narrowing in the highs. The idea with the lense is to maintain wide directivity in the treble, but we can see this doesn't work that well.
If we look at the horizontal polars B&O have published themselves of the much more expensive Beolab 90 which also uses such a lense, we see the same trait.

I'm probably not the only one thinking about E.T. head here!

This 800Hz resonance spoils everything big time,it's not only strange,it looks if like something is broken.Disappointing. Thought they would be better. I'm fan of the brand and use the MC120.2 on my TV system. https://www.beoworld.org/prod_details.asp?pid=645
Wanted to vote 'not terrible' but can't in all conscience.
That and the terrible directivity. I don't take the price into account when I vote but that's a further issue.This 800Hz resonance spoils everything big time,it's not only strange,it looks if like something is broken.
Disappointing indeed.
