    Dave...thanks for the great info!

    I, for one, don't want you to compromise your design techniques.....unless I ever decide to DIY, which I highly doubt will ever happen.

    With enough beer, I could be talked into a DIY sub but there's no way I'm going to build speakers. Dave's job is safe.

    i would submit that there are several loudspeakers that lack top end extension, and the ascends are not one of them.

    there is a bit of a double edged sword to posting measurements, but the rationale dave provides towards design choices along with the data from 3rd parties makes perfect sense for ascend's approach.

    Dave,

    Thanks a lot for helping us understand. It's nice to see you're as accurate and revealing as the speakers you design.

    It would be really nice if somebody would/could collect your educational posts and put them in a sticky FAQ thread. I know this was talked about awhile ago, but I don't know if anything came of it.

    I'll see if I can work on a DaveF "knowledgebase".

    Now that I think about it, just searching on Dave's posts, I bet most of them are educational.
