Mentioning line and plane sources (and dipoles) at Romy`s site is sort of forbiden.


thanks for telling me. i don't care about dipoles though. i understand that they have advantages but to me that's not good enough. things should be PERFECT at least in theory. dipoles aren't perfect even in theory so i don't like them.

also while i think that Linkwitz is a good designer i also believe that many of his designs are motivated not by performance goals but by desire to make use of "his own" technologies - namely active filters, linkwitz transform, and dipoles.

of course Linkwitz is not the only one suffering from this syndrome. as the saying goes "to a man with only a hammer every problem looks like a nail"


For your information, electrostats, ribbons and planar magnetics have their advantages only if operated as dipoles. Enclose them at their rear and you get shit...
For majority of people here, the`re shit anyway.
You don`t care about them because you`re only "concerned" about the theoretical advantages rather than the end result. Which things are PERFECT even in
the theory, let alone real life?
Speaking of good designers, some of them can make fantastic drivers or invent great things, yet when it comes to sound quality assesment, they can be
hopelessly deaf. Not all though...
