I was just trying to learn a bit about measurement and see how my results compared to the designer’s. I haven’t done the bass...

@Keith_W Thanks for that article about measurement quality. That was a huge help. I have now collected some measurements that I think I...

Welcome to ASR! Many people think that the benefit of an anechoic chamber is the signal to noise ratio. If it can suppress background...

Haha, glad to see I'm not the only one who has done this!

Also higher order crossovers reduce the cancellation lobing width at the vertical radiation angles at non coax drivers. On the other...

In my travels I came across an audio blog some time ago written by an Asian audiophile who visited Linkwitz in his home. He was chuffed...

FWIW, I believe that blog post predates my discussion with SL. I was well aware of his position, but also his interest in the subject...

The main issue with speakers that have extremely precise directivity control is that they tend to have a rather narrow dispersion...

1 cm??? I said "thick carpet." Even thin carpet works as long as you have a thick pad under it. Here is a simulation of 1 inch thick...

KEF is wrong to demonize high parts counts in passive crossovers. Considering each drive unit individually, they are approximately...

The graph you posted doesn't show much noise before the impulse. Constant background noise will typically be visible there. You don't...

What's your reasoning for associating a Qts of 1.1 with a really high crossover?

Subwoofers can be placed where they will perform better.

No, that Revel center channel is not the configuration with the most off-axis issues. You want the tweeter/mid vertically aligned (so...
