the measured performance would remain unchanged by audiophile components.

Mike, is there a test we could run on a low-quality and high-quality crossover *component* to determine the merit of one against the other?
There are of course different grades of capacitors/resistors. What I am looking for is in the specific context of crossovers which cap/resistors you think make a difference and can we construct some test to tease that out.
no, high level speaker designers dont agonise and become neurotic over x-over components. that's what audiophiles do.. they certainly dont spend every waking hour trying to hear the difference between caps that have the same measured function and performance. they design through the known variables of engineering practise they understand and can have control over.. and when they are done they can explain exactly why the speaker performs as it does because they understand what they have done. they dont rely on myths and legends or hear say.. thats our job
thats nonsense.You are basing this on what you heard from a designer who basically did some designs for a big corporate entity. Most speaker designers do test several different types of components and mix and match for the best subjective sound. It's only the mass market companies who don't really care. For these guys turning over volume at the highest profit margin is #1
thats nonsense.
i dont personally know any designers who work for big corporate entities that solely focus on high profit margins... i know plenty must be out there but i dont know them.Do you really think most high end speakers out there use Bennic components? None that I would recommend anyways.
Designers are swayed by the expectation of their customers, Ralph (Cessaro) always bemoaned the fact that he had to fit fragile WBT connectors when a recessed
Connector would have been far less fragile.

B&W yes(but not so much with the snail but whatever, you have no clue about development costs), but dics not worked there for 20 years lol!!! vivid not at all but i dont blame you for thinking that as you dont know, you just think you do by looking at pictures. i know though, by knowing the people involved.B&W and vivid are 2 good examples.
