Multitone distortion is hands down more audible than harmonic distortion. It's pretty much always better to have a 3 way than a 2 way...

Nope! Most are active, just with remote amps. Anyway... I see major benefits for actives. One, they're significantly more efficient...

Active when done well, typically sounds better than comparative passive version of a speaker to my ears. being able to align the...

When distortion reaches or exceeds 100% in bass, it is massively audible in my sweep tests. I mean it sounds like the woofer is falling...

They measure... okay. Unusually wide vertical beamwidth thanks to a low crossover point (they spec Fc as 1600hz, but per S&R it's more...

The dynamic capabilities are nothing short of impressive. Even at 96dB/1m, they are about as totally clean as a speaker can reasonably...

Low sensitivity is more a concern with distance, generally speaking.

The larger chamber is an odd choice, IMO - Barefoot doesn't cross it very low, so shouldn't need a large rear chamber.

Ah, I see - so because the waveguide is acting more like a horn at those frequencies, you're able to have the electrical filter slope...

AFAIK, Amphion crossover is not 1.6kHz. Spec sheet says that, but it’s not. It is rather around 1kHz like us. You can see sound and...

To be clear, there are very few midrange drivers of any variety that are usable across that entire frequency band. Even Bliesma's...

You may consider intermodulation (including Doppler) also. That would ask for a real three way, means not a 'sub', x/over ~ 250..350Hz...

I've seen more than a few of these, it's especially common on metal dome tweeters. Never see it on fabric, though... Maybe because by...

it’s what we call a coherer and it is carefully optimised to keep dispersion wide in the top octave. Ascilab is a heavy user of FEA and...

it deserves to be highlighted that this speaker is a sealed box with a series capacitor. This gives an alignment in the middle between...
