If the crossover point between midrange and woofers is low enough it wont have negatives but can boost their response toward low frequencies enabling less baffle step compensation and higher sensitivity final product. Also, keeping the woofers low is known way to eliminate 180Hz-280Hz dip that...

R-2018, so 12 gen but not meta.

How did you arrive at that conclusion ? Only Q series coax has suspension related resonance. Other Z flex suspension drivers are coated to adress that. In my opinion it shouldn't be a problem.

They are different. R coax is dedicated midrange and not suited for crossover points under 200Hz at 24dB/o. Q coax is midbass and can be used much lower. Linearity and distortion profile are better in R. If i would be looking at Q series, i'd look for used Q100/Q300. They are better crafted than...

Don't hold your breath. Beolab 90 weighs much more than anyone would consider to climb up the NFS scanner, especially considering the price. Up to this point praxis proved that anything costing more than 20.000€ is very unlikely to show up at Erin's or Amir's NFS. Companies won't do it and if...

Ignore button is a bliss.

Based on what metric ? I've listened JBL L100 classic and other than higher loudness it can produce, it has nothing over less expensive Lintons. It sounds harsher in highs and less neutral overall (tone controls behind do help a bit). If Dovedales are anything like Lintons, they will be much...

I can't imagine that someone in China would be crazy enough to buy these loudspeakers for this price out of everything that is manufactured there and is cheaper from prices listed in Europe.

I wasn't even born at the time but i like the aesthetics very much :) I have a pair of Lintons and i'd really like to get NAD C3050 LE.

You're completely right.

Yup. Power compression, yes. Some energy will unavoidably be transferred to heat in resistors for midrange and tweeter crossover since you need to attenuate them. That is a drawback of passives. Actives have their own drawback since you are boosting bass, and by that some power will be...

Unfortunately, i don't have accelerometer at my disposal, but you're probably right. The vibrations are on the sidewalls so that excludes midrange and turns attention to the woofer.

-SPL capabilities aren't higher but actives start to limit the response of drivers to protect them. You can do that by saving presets on external DSP. -Control over each driver for easier integration is cool, but that doesn't mean it can't be done with passive crossover, it just takes more...

Yes, those speakers, amps and dsp's are awful. Connect three boxes by cables and press a switch. Much harder to use than actives that need no cabling whatsoever. I asked what can be done because ASR is place that adhere magic properties to active loudspeakers like they use some different types...

Those Genelecs cost 10.100€ for a pair. Kef Reference 1 meta with 500W Hypex nCore monoblocs and minidsp flex cost 10.700€, so i don't know really what are you talking about. Let me remind you what you wrote. Since then you've given not even one argument to back up your claim but you have...

I respect that but couldn't care less about what problems loudspeaker designers have. Let me make it simple. Explain me the advantage of Genelec 8361A compared to Kef Reference 1 meta with external dsp and amp ?

So, you are saying that small size is the only superpower of active loudspeakers ? I agree with that but small size comes with its own set of compromises. If we disregard size, there is nothing active loudspeaker can do that passive with minidsp and regular amp can not. Make it flat, save a few...

Then you should correct your statement to "LS60 would not look as is with passive crossover." and with that i agree 100%. I don't see what being ported or external electronic has to do with this.

What is Blade ?
