[QUOTE="Timber_MG, post: 23677, member: 18"] @hennie...while it does widen the polars, the power response still has significant abberations when crossed where they do. I am not discounting the B&W design for its implementation (which is traditionally well executed), just stating the design trade-offs involved and its impact on listening in live environments. One thing to be realized is that if directivity were to match that of a small dome, such a driver would have drooping frequency response above its mass roll-off frequency (generally 400-700Hz and helped a little by the baffle). Something like that is more feasible in crossing to a 1" dome with a dedicated midrange driver (where one can use low mass and high BL motors to raise that frequency and user a better tweeter to cross lower than a value-engineered traditional bass-mid) [/QUOTE]
