Re: morricab, you might try considering the problem from the opposite end

Yes Soundmind I do think about it from this direction, which is why I am very interested in speaker technology as well. THere are actually many things in speaker design that you and I agree about (a closed box loading for woofers for example). However, I think they are two different problems because one can often still clearly hear differences in electronics quality with speakers that are very flawed. The distortions that amplifiers make are electronic in nature whereas speaker distortions are largely mechanical and it seems that one doesn't readily mask the other. I know you think all well designed amps sound the same, I wish I could assure you they don't but I see the futility of making that argument at the moment. Let's just leave it at I have heard from countless examples that often things like box coloration, cone breakup, phase errors, etc. don't seem to mask the distortions of the electronics, perhaps because these distortions ride on the signal already when it reaches the speaker?
