Found this site -  WAJ on Audio -  with some very good reading on all things audio. Don't know the identity of WAJ is but seem very insightfull and open minded. Very good impressions of our beloved Klipschorn and how a "realistic" sounding speaker should be judged. Check it out  - -http://wajonaudio.webs.com/The Ultimate Speakers are Within Reach.html

Interesting, but I think he came to the wrong conclusions from his 'full-range' single driver experiments.  In my own experience and opinion, that approach is a stronger argument for going fully active than it is for feeding raw drivers full range signals.  Cone breakup is not realistic sounding, more like "peaky" or "strident" to my ears.  As for PRaT, I prefer those Blue Note releases from the mid 60's to early 70's, that ultra jammin' groovy soul-jazz has some serious PRaT.
