Yes, crossovers done via damping/filtering are considered crossovers as well; just acoustic ones. They’re no less “true” than electrical crossovers, and they’re in fact usually used in conjunction with each other. Emil from Lime Ears has said that he prefers acoustic filtering than electrical filtering, while Empire Ears’ Olympus line-up (from Supra to Zeus) had no dampers or filters whatsoever; entirely electrical in nature crossover-wise. The Phantom has a green damper in one of its three sound tubes, but that’s the only sign of acoustic filtering I see.

All designs (whether one BA or a dozen) each have their pros and cons. There are sigs that you can’t achieve with a single driver and the reverse is true too. If you don’t necessarily have the know-how yet, multi-BA set-ups will more likely cause you trouble than good. But, we’ve all seen how good they can be in the right hands. Given the amount of manufacturers that pull off good multi-BA set-ups, I’m sure it’s definitely science and not magic.

I'll probably start with single driver designs and learn about tubing and damping first. Electronics probably comes second. Indeed, I have very little know-how so I gotta start slow. (maybe I should go into otorhinolaryngology (ENT))

I would have gone AWOL from Headfi if those were not dreams. Music keeps me sane. Not being able to listen to it....

Wait.... You did what?!

“eastern europeans” also applies to most asian cultures aside from the japanese where “americans” apply.

As an American, I am offended, but then again, I prefer beats over audio technica.

I could add the Chinese and the French in there. The French would be close to the Eastern European. The Chinese would go from 还可以to不错I guess.
