[QUOTE="Timber_MG, post: 1087585, member: 18"] No doubt Danny is a great designer from the old school. However he will well know how the HF artifacts he diagnoses in that design is mostly down to baffle edge diffraction and common to all speakers in that package format....He will also know that EQ to correct for this comes at the expense of power response. My core critique of the technical aspect of what he looks to correct, is that the solution might measure flatter on axis with more components, but that it appears (no before/after data to properly compare and I'm not going to trace all that) that he takes a voicing with a more gradual crossover that uses the overlap for compensating some of the behaviour of the components and replaces it with something that will let the baffle diffraction and power response mismatch between HF and woofer dominate the midrange. The finest example of this to my mind is the Watt Puppy. Not flat on axis, but devious in how well it balances the listening window responses with power response in a filter that has neither flat on axis responses nor much of a null when inverting the tweeter but uses low angle phase mismatches to better blend the transition between the two. The big murican approach to it all is meant to be divisive and lead the buyer to a conclusion either to delve deeper or to accept it at face value. I prefer to know what's in my soup, most of the market wants to be seen eating the fancy soup at some restaurant and self-market on social media how fancy they are. More strength to both. [/QUOTE]
