Default A little bit of interesting reading on speakers

I came across this interview of a well-experienced speaker designer.

He ranges across some classic speakers, various companies and the BBC developments.

I think it's a fine example of well thought-out and fair explanation. Quite ego-free, which is unusual in the field.

That's an interesting article. Along similar lines, I find Phil Ward's speaker reviews in Sound On Sound magazine to be really interesting as, being a speaker designer himself, he tends to describe the background and reasons for design decisions involved in the speakers that he is reviewing. I've also just discovered his blog at https://musicandmiscellany.com/ which has even more background to some of his published articles.
