Hmmm.... it is hard to explain as this is an area of expertise for me. So what makes me an expert in this area? I've worked with all of the Tweeters currently on the market selling for over $250 each, even these, and they are not dramatically different tweeters from the dozens of other Supreme tweeters Morel has manufactured in the past. With the Purifi midrange, I have heard two of the mid-woofer versions of the form factor from them and measured using my tools one of them in my space. I've also spent considerable time discussing them with people I've worked with in the past and are currently developing state of the art systems using them.
So, the choices were made based on:
- Experience
- Knowledge of loudspeaker design principles
- Research with subscriptions to half a dozen industry trade journals and J-AES and IEEE papers
- Understanding of how to read specifications
- Independent technical lab reviews by trusted loudspeakers engineers
- Discussions with loudspeakers I trust who have used them and other transducers of which I am intimately informed
Understanding of how speaker characteristics translate to perceived loudspeaker tonality and performance
And in this case - Years of Heeman being my best friend and having tens of thousands of conversations about what he likes and doesn't like about speakers and sound in his home theater.
