[QUOTE="PV Audio, post: 1363422, member: 554493"] what is sound quality to me? sq to me on paper is much different than in real life. i'll model out a driver to have a flat curve, steady rolloff at f3 and do everything in my power to knock down any knees or nodes that may arise. this could range from damping materials to bracing the entire enclosure. HOWEVER, once you fire it up, i usually find that i PREFER not a flat response, but a boost in the midrange and lots of attenuation in the highs. i cannot stand bright tweeters, regardless of how airy and beautiful they look on paper. i also do not like a speaker or a cone whose sole purpose is to create good all around sound. one reason i cannot stand the wilson alexandria; he made those retarded things to make any source "sound" good. however, the watt/puppy is a beast of a speaker (i like the tweeter best of anything yet) and i've been wanting to re-create it because the midrange presense is absolutely astounding, but at 16, funds are limited [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif[/IMG]. so i guess squeak IS correct with his definition, but the quality of the sound itself is quite different than sound preference.
