I see a lot of opinions being thrown around, but is there anyone here who have actually designed, built, and tested loudspeakers and amplifiers? It always amazes me why more people into electronics refuse to learn anything first hand. Do some testing people! ABSOLUTELY there's a break-in...

How is a speaker with an 8" woofer mini?

I personally think Dynaudio makes the best speakers in the world.

Monk, Onkyo makes some of the best receivers on the market today.

Check out the white papers at the bottom of the page: DTS Neo:X

Here's the thing... In theory, both types of speakers should sound fine in a surround sound system. As a matter of fact, most theaters use directional surrounds. But!!! And there's a big but! All decent theaters use a dozen plus directional speakers. Why? So that they won't sound so directional...

Monk, for mutli-channel music sure... But if that system doubles up for home theater, then having directional rear speakers in a 5.1 (or 7.1) set-up is just about the worst thing you can do :(

What are your all time favorite sounding speakers? No measurements, just sound quality. They can be any vintage :) Here are mine (not a complete list): - Goldmund Dialogue - Meta Research The Meta Speaker - Dynaudio Confidence C2 II - Focal Scala Utopia - Dynaudio Confidence C1 II -...

You forgot to mention that ribbon tweeters usually have poor vertical off-axis response. Especially the ones longer than 3". The listener has to sit still and not move :) Having said that, there are ribbons that sound almost lifelike, despite the shortcomings in lower end distortion, etc. RAAL...

I must say, I have also never seen any worthy proof that a speaker with a first order crossover exists. And let's make something clear here, we are not talking about electrical 6dB, we are talking about a speaker which hits true 6dB acoustical slopes. Would sure love to hear one! It has been...

You guys are acting like this is some sort of a miracle while it couldn't be more pedestrian. It's a simple Cauer/elliptic filter. Has been around since the start of electronics. I've seen it in hundreds of audio related products, ranging from passive speaker crossovers to active and digital...

No need to compare those. We already know TAD is king.

What an excellent speaker system to get into high end sound with :) How about here: Infinity Primus Three-way dual 5-1/4-Inch Speaker (Each, Center-Channel, Black)

Can anyone guess which manufacturer is represented in that graph? The name starts with a "Z." The speaker measured is simply horrendous. Both in measurements and in the actual sound!

That was in regards to Monk saying that the tweeters have a break-up spanning from 4kHz-20kHz...

They do. Take a look at B&W...

They are caused by diffraction. A combination of baffle edges, tweeter's faceplate, and grill.

The Paradigm Studio 20's tweeter does not have break-up from 4kHz-20kHz. It's actually a very clean, low distortion, and well designed tweeter. The break-up happens just above 20kHz. There's no bacon there. The speaker may have faults elsewhere, but not here. I hate to see a very good product...
