In the Thread: Trash your “full-rage”, single-driver acoustic systems.

Yes, Robin, while the whizzer can do higher frequencies, it comes at the cost of ragged response in the mid-range for the typical "full range" driver, and it also simply adds mass that precludes better HF performance that might have been gotten with better voice coil, former, and related construction details. Since you live in Germany and practice Music and hi-fi there, you are probably aware that some of their old drivers can be re-purposed to good effect. In fact, I am amazed (and amused, and frustrated) to see the particular contortions people go through to "re-create" and/or implement some the worst aspects of some of the best Breitband drivers ever made. And I'm sure you've noticed, not all of them had whizzers (although whizzers can be used for HF only...). Like Mick Jagger once said, "It's the singer, not the song."
