Who are your top loudspeaker designers?

Like most OB fans I've only heard what I've built and I'm too modest to list myself.

A friend of mine purchased both the SF-1 and SF-150. The concept was brilliant, but the execution left a lot to be desired. The concept of creating an egg shaped dispersion pattern that favored the area between the speakers is an excellent concept. The fact that I could be standing right next to the right speaker, and can clearly hear the left speaker as well is true stereo everywhere technology. The problem I have with this speaker is the same I have with the Bose 901, and that is the comb filtering that occurs when a speaker bounces its output all over the room in all directions. You get stereo everywhere, but it is diffused and blurred. I personally enjoyed the SF-150 a bit more than the SF-1.

For favorite speaker designer I would choose John Dunlavy and Jim Thiel along with the other have mentioned.

I have not heard a modern speaker that I prefer to my Dunlavy SCIVs. They are efficient, flat in frequency response, and produce three-dimensional images.

Hey cubdog, glad to see you here. This place is a little quiet at times but unlike AK your posts stay current.
