Didn't someone make a 500 crystal changer for those things?
Thanks goodness. I had some credit burning a hole in my credit card; a 500 crystal changer should fit the bill. Although, I am now thinking that boulder idea would kill that +15db 50Hz spike living just behind my left listening position. Almost fried the SPL meter when I stumbled onto that monster!

That 500 crystal changer was developed in Russia, by a company called U.B.Riptov.

I would not say that is not necessarily the defining piece that creates the smooth upper range, but it is certainly a component of the design
I have heard many design theories - internal veneering (Totem), minor internal bracing (Harbeth), built like pieces of rock (Reference 3a), inverted driver sets (Mission), to name a few - and without a competent design, quality materials and good build quality, the speakers fail to reproduce music properly. All of the above manufacturers make good to exceptional speakers. But it is just as easy to take expensive parts and make bad speakers - or any electronic device for that matter
We can go into a "What makes a speaker reproduce music properly" discussion...but a search will bring threads about this to light.
