Here's a nice, loonnng, but non-technical article on speaker design.

Print it and keep it by your toilet for those times when you ate too many burritos.

    By going to the bottom of Part2 and clicking on 'return to library', I found even more articles of interest.

    Many Thanks!

    An interesting read. Although a good chunk of it was over my head!

    Does anyone know what/where Polk falls into these catagories with their tweeters & drivers?

    I know that they use Fifas for the LSI's but that's about it.
