What is the importance of not having a crossover in the Nucleus Micro?
There is no such thing as a good crossover. All crossovers introduce time and phase distortions that degrade the original signal. By using a single driver to cover the entire range above the THX specification (where your receiver crosses over to the small enclosure setting), the Nucleus Micro can deliver true audiophile-quality sound. This means a very high degree of transparency and tonal accuracy – and, most importantly, a musical experience. Eliminating the crossover also helps to reduce the ear fatigue that many small satellites tend to cause with extended listening. The most important specifications, speed and transparency, typically are not even measured. These are the details that make a speaker musical and lifelike. Due to the simplicity of our design, the Nucleus Micro is one of the fastest, most dynamic and transparent speakers at any price, and certainly in its class.
