tonyE I was talking to Jimfisheye and not you.
When you rassle with a pig you get muddy and the pig likes it.
I beg your pardon?
You own this forum now?
I am always willing to argue points. However TonyE has degenerated into poor manners so the thread is done for me. He does have a talent for receiving the info he wants to hear. I will correct his last errors one by one..
And now you keep calling me names.... now, who is the one that is being rude here? Hmm... and you just called me a pig... you've assaulted my prose, my essays, told me I have to go back to school and my ability to read posts. Hmmm...
Next, you will accuse me of owning a Bose Acoustimass?
Besides, I thought you said you were done with this thread....
The bottom line is that you keep making many comments as facts when they are based solely on your opinions, I've seen that going back. No one has challenged you to figure out WHY you keep saying those things, what is your basis for such statements. After seeing your comment on quoting Audio "Science" I decided that I wanted to know why you make such statements and we found out that you believe strictly in taking measurements, believe that amplifier technology reached effective completion about 40 years ago and insult anyone who dares to think otherwise... and/or are insulted that anyone would challenge your statements.
The interesting thing about your style is that you make sweeping generalizations as if they were coming from the Greek Oracle of Delphi, but once we dig into it, the man behind the green screen appears.
Why don't you just agree to your biases? Most of us do. I have, I know I don't know everything, so I tend to be guarded with most of my opinions. Seriously, go back to my posts with you, I question your statements but I don't throw mine on top of you. Realize that the subject matter is rather complex and that people may have different ideas and respect their right to question you.
Note: have you ever had a Technical Peer Review of your work? Trust me, you learn not to take constructive criticism of your work personally.
Oh, btw, the only way to avoid using a crossover, any kind of crossover, is to use a wide band driver. Or, perhaps a rather complex set of very high sampling rate AD/DACs... some active speakers do just that. Does Genelec do it?
I haven't used loudspeaker crossovers, since 1977. They also contain inductors and power resistors. POWER RESISTORS.
And that statement is not correct either. A passive speaker crossover need not use resistors, it can use the impedance of the driver as part of the circuit. A simple crossover can get away with a capacitor and/or inductor.
