If that is a wave "guide," the surface should be smooth. Otherwise, it defeats the purpose.Maybe a reason why the manufacturer opted for brushed or raw surface which looks like straight from the casting process.

No that's the beauty of linseed treatment - yes you can polish with a rag and oil to a high shine but if you just apply then rub off all it does is keep the finish as it is now - no shine, no oxidation =]If it is uncoated bronze, it will anyways get patina over time. And polished bronze with patina looks really strange and uneven. Maybe a reason why the manufacturer opted for brushed or raw surface which looks like straight from the casting process.
In other words, a tweeter is such a tiny thing, that emits quite high frequency sounds that doesn't need a wave 'guide' to transfer your favourite drum brushes and cymbals to your ears.I do not think a brushing or rough surface from casting will influence the effectiveness or performance of the waveguide. Such unevenness is way below 0.2mm, and the smallest wavelength to be reproduced is 17mm. A lot of waveguides have an uneven surface, may it result from lacquering or casting.
12th order filters? Normally 8th order is as steep as needed to eliminate any kind of blended handoff.
I don't prefer xovers that steep as one driver stops and the other continues. It's better to blend and make them seamless.
It appears that at that frequency, a structural failure occurs with the cone. A crossover will not be able to rectify a structural failure. One can mask the issue by using or changing certain electrical components, but the inability of the speaker cone to move as a single unit, which is a material problem, will always persist.If I were them, I'd focus on the woofer breakup at 1.2k a little more.
What, the cone shatters into shards, launching shrapnel and debris?a structural failure occurs with the cone.
Best read a bit, why cone breakup happens.What, the cone shatters into shards, launching shrapnel and debris?
I know what cone breakup is. SMDHBest read a bit, why cone breakup happens.
Woofer breakup occurs when a speaker cone stops moving as a single unit and starts flexing or resonating due to its material or size limits. Which, in other words named as "structural failure" because the cone deforms, adding distortion.
It is smooth enough. You don't have even the slightest idea how much smoothness is required.If that is a wave "guide," the surface should be smooth. Otherwise, it defeats the purpose.
Small tweeter does not need waveguide to transfer cymbals to ears, but waveguide shapes tweeter directivity to be better. You don't have even the slightest idea what the waveguide is, what it is doing and how much big it should be to work properly. HInt: waveguide/horn mouth circumference should be at least one wavelength of the lowest frequency of the tweeter.In other words, a tweeter is such a tiny thing, that emits quite high frequency sounds that doesn't need a wave 'guide' to transfer your favourite drum brushes and cymbals to your ears.![]()

Cone breakup is not "catastrophic failure" as you think. If it is catastrophic, cone will be disintegrated. It will not.Best read a bit, why cone breakup happens.![]()

In some previous post I politely asked you to spare us from your laughable musings about technical sides of loudspeakers. Please stop embarrassing publicly yourself with your ignorance about the basic science stuff.
If that is the case, you shouldn't have replied, to what I replied to Wolf.Anybody else remember a Mod asking that the design discussion be taken elswhere outside of this thread?
