Romy,

On the subject of speaker design, I don't think you'll disagree if I say that your "quest for a better monitor" was unsuccessful.
You mentionaed at the time that the speakers should respect the following:

1) Perform correct in context of first order filter ,
2) Have correct tonal performance,
3) Do not require any frequency or impedance normalization,
4) Have low dynamic compression

What did you learn from the process and would have done differently?
Couldn't some of your requirements have been an obstacle to a more viable solution, possibly achieved by accepting a few compromises?
Do you feel that the design/conception of direct radiation speakers with box enclosures should obey to the same rules and requirements as horn speakers?

 
An interesting question, Ric. My own build of “better” monitor was disastrous but I think it was not because my objectives or methods were wrong but because my lack of perseverance and focus. My better monitor was a side project, my desire to have Macondo “grand” experience from a small cold-operation package.  I very much failed but it means nothing and I still feel that somebody who would focus on this will accomplish it and make it possible.
 
How do I think I would do it differently?  I think would need to approach to it with a different level of seriousness and with higher degree of importance. I do not have this level of importance in me (because of multiple reasons) but I am very sure that with enough dedication to the course the things might be done.
 
If I were in the business to do it now then the requirements I would use the same.
