Title: Art of Speaker Design
Post by: rascal101 on Feb 07, 2007 at 01:49 PM
Have been forwarded an article on the history and future trend of speaker design. To me it's a very good read.

from the artcle http://www.nutshellhifi.com/library/speaker-design1.html

"This chapter opens with a quick trip through the future, the past, and the challenges of designing speaker systems in the here and now. These challenges can be met in many different ways, resulting in many different schools of speaker design. Due to the limitations of the art, no one school can "have it all," despite advertising claims to the contrary. At a more detailed level, the designer has to examine the sonic character of different types of direct-radiator driver, and know the advantages and limitations of each type.

Even designers who profess an agnostic, specification-driven approach make an esthetic decision when they decide which group of specifications to optimize. At every point, from overall system design to subtle points of cabinet construction, esthetic preference merges invisibly with engineering decisions."

Gandang article nito!  Some writers on the net seem to be too young to have a deep understanding of the subject matter, but this author really speaks with authority.

Thanks for the link, sir rascal101.

If you go to the main page http://www.nutshellhifi.com/Ariel.html you will find out a lot more stuff - crossovers, drivers etc. Got to finally understand why you need very good capacitors specially in your tweeters. Learned that no amount of tweaks on speaker cables or ICs can be compared to having a very good capacitor in the first place.
