I assume you've gathered it was a comment on 'le ton' in many
of your recent postings on RAO ;-)

so, how about some audio content, sir ?
(think Wargames : "A strange game. The only winning move is not to play.
How about a nice game of chess?")

the question i recently put to Arny, how would you go about
comparing different drivers for some loudspeaker design
(assuming a multi-driver setup) ? say, a tweeter:
you'll have different frequency range, different frequency response,
different sensitivity , different dispersion, different power handling
capacity, different impedance, etc., etc.

Up to now I understand.

now, say you'd have a perfect 10 Hz - 6 kHz 'lower part' of the design
ready, how to compare these different tweeters ?

The game finishs here since (hopefully ?) I even cannot imagine the
above. ;-)

for starters, you'll need different xo's for the drivers
so you're not _really_ comparing apples with apples
as some tweeters will 'use' more of the range produced
by the lower part
than others :-)


I'm sincerely sorry Rudy but speaker DIY is just like cooking : it cannot be
dematerialized. Your question is a little bit naive, would you ask to a
chef "imagine that you have the perfect saulce what kind of meat will you
prepare with it ?"

any practical ideas ?

No theoric ideas.
If you feel that you have already assembled the "perfect" 10 hz - 6 khz I
must say that you are in a deep mud !!! Without any divine intervention you
are running to the greatest deception that one can imagine...
....You know the axiom, "no good bass with a poor tweeter".

I mean that "perfection" would be achieved only when you will have find
*THE* good tweeter. All the rest is rhetoric only, not speaker building.

BTW, IMHO perfection isn't a human goal. It is a lure for paranoids, borgs.
