I wont go past 2 or 3 drivers however. I feel thats overkill. one mid one high one low is about it. Or maybe two lows
^ I'm lacking the technical background to judge crossovers, but among the multi-BAs I've heard there are only few that I'd consider coherent, so I guess you're right. Besides I'd think that driver selection plays an important role too, since any variance in bass/mid/treble driver signatures will also impair coherence.
What happens when the conductor (crossover/tuning) is bad? it'll be more obvious with more violinists
Also, what happens in the case of CK10? where both violinists play the exact same thing
I think the crossover synergy is waaay over-rated. I have yet to hear a multi-driver that had terrible coherency. And if I did, I would probably attribute it to poor fit which should be a bigger concern.
Doesn't a motorbike with higher specs perform better than an average motorbike?
Isn't a 6 cylinder motorbike better than a 2 cylinder?
Isn't a 600cc engine better than a 200cc engine?
It depends if you can drive it or not, maybe if you listen to it you will crash and your head will explode.
We only have 1 eardrum per ear. We don't need multiple speakers per ear.
But audio drivers are not motorbike engines. They work completely differently. I don't see how you can compare them. What is the motorbike engine equivalent of phase shifts and incoherent performance in headphone drivers?
Then why is 5.1 and 7.1 so much more popular than 2 channel ?
Is your auditory nerve a single strand, or multi-strand?
If you go to the zoo... do you hear the animals in 2 dimensions? I hope you can hear in 3D... or you won't know which way to look when that lion jumps on you and eats your lunch.
