[QUOTE="Uwe Riemer, post: 137333, member: 394"] Re: New DIY Mid High While we probably agree basically, this opinion is not without problems. Your statement could be interpreted as: there is good and bad usage of DSP And who is going to judge this? You, me, Tony Andrews? Where do you draw the line to the "inferior design" Let's take Peters box as an example: Using a folded horn for low-mid reproduction up to 800Hz is at least questionable, EV did that 40 years ago ( Eliminator ) and abandoned the concept. Is this now an inferior design or an acceptable compromise, because it serves his design goal to make the horn loading go lower. Where we probably will not agree is on crossovers: Crossovers serve to protect the drivers, integrate the passbands into a system and can help to improve directivity. This is never an easy task, and good drivers deserve good crossovers, which is always a lot of work ( nothing simple with that ). Peters attempt to make the crossover simpler is technically inferior to everyone, who can read the phase response, but serves well to my point, that this BMS driver is not the new Überdriver. It might be good, but is difficult to handle. I would really like to see some distortion measurements, comparing the 4594 to the HE version. Uwe Uwe [/QUOTE]
