Hi Winslow!
I used to sell for you when you owned Burhoe Acoustics. Great to hear you’re back in the audio game again. You look just like I remember you. And that’s – what – 30 years ago. Gulp.
Two things:
1) You were the forerunner of home theater with the system you debuted in NYC in 1980(?). It featured two Crimsons and a subwoofer up front. And two rear speakers on a variable time delay in back. Nobody had anything like it.
2) What happened to the inverted dome? How does it compare to the fabric domes of today?
Soft dome tweeters can have relatively flat frequency response to surprisingly high frequencies because the soft parts of the dome flutter independently of the voice coil. Listeners with good high frequency hearing often prefer the greater linearity of the stiff inverted dome, although with some materials and configurations, metallic domes can have ringing.

HI Scott,
Thanks for the memory.
