Hello
maxxevv,
Thank you for your referring to
my project thread.
Hello
maxime.levesque,
My project thread is rather long and intensive. If you would like to have short-cut to my recently completed system, you would please visit
my post #311 there and thereafter for the details.
Hi dualazmak, I see that you are exploring the extreme of the audio range segmentation (and specialisation).
I am a total ignorant in accoustics (or a complete beginer if I want to be more charitable), and I am wondering how the law of diminishing returns applies to range segmentation of the sound spectrum.
What I mean by range segmentation is the idea of having dedicated drivers (and possibly their own amplifier) for each range of the spectrum, I guess it is called "multiway" in the jargon.
So with zero segmentation, you have a full range driver, then you split the range in two with a woofer and tweeter, then you split it in three, then four, then five, and this is where your project is at...
So my question is: after how many split does one get diminishing returns, or perhaps inverse returns ?
For the "single full driver crowd", any range split is more than they can handle !
It seems to me that within the "audio geeks" crowd, you have the minimalists at one extreem, the "2 wat SET amp + single driver" guys, and at the other end you have maximalists. But then again, on the minimalist vs maximalist axis, everyone will say they are at "their" minimum !
