The worst part is when I google search terms active speaker alignment this thread doesn't show up, if somehow we could get this thread properly worded for google keywords this thread would blow up. I am very new to speaker building and learning 3 years so far and this speaker is my 4th iteration of trying to find the sound i am looking for. I have bought many books and read for 100's of hours trying to figure out all the things it takes to build a good loud speaker. The problem is so many people talk about all the attributes needed for a good loud speaker but don't always have the answers of how to get to them. I have listened to many people considered professionals and when you try to get down to the brass tax of how to accomplish some of these things they are not always able to explain as you have throughout this thread. So again a huge thank you to all of your time and efforts of helping me and all the others, your expertise are invaluable.
