Danny, now that the neo3 are more or less available again, I was reading the NX-otica thread and a question came to mind based on some of your comments.
Using what you've learned with some of the more recent neo3 based designs, do you think a redesign of the N1, N2X, or N3 would benefit from the change of the tweeter from being mounted flush with the standard mounting plate to being set into a waveguide like the wedgie and NX-otica instead? I know efficiency numbers probably wouldn't move, but would that setup bring the advantages of improved speed, detail, and the improved off axis response (vertical and horizontal) the newer designs take advantage of? Having baffles machined to order for kits seems to be a lot more consistently within reach these days than maybe in the past where a kit design really needed to be 100% DIY from scratch to work, which makes the idea not as far of a stretch as it may have been in the past?
I know you've set your sights on open baffle designs a long time ago and haven't much looked back, but maybe the old boxed speaker kits could share a little of the love from the new designs too? This thought reminded me of the world-class monitor speaker thread in this circle a while back; maybe a good opportunity to raise the bar again?
