You are far too kind. I’m not as knowledgeable as many others, and I certainly make my share of public mistakes. I hope that despite this I leave plenty of room for people to enjoy what they enjoy without imposing my own biases.
I’m sure after this endorsement I’ll suffer a relentless series of public mistakes to make up for it. I will say that I often use XSim to double check my math. Speaker building is not my day job and I am far rustier than I used to be on this, so whenever I’m in doubt, I whip up a sample circuit, and pull up the relevant charts to validate my work. I encourage others to do the same, and frankly, if you have speaker building (or even mere speaker wiring) questions, take your questions and XSim schematics over to DIYAudio:

where the XSim author, Bill Waslo, and many many other more knowledgeable and opinionated speaker builders hang out.
I daresay you’ll find many there who know more than me, but certainly not any with stronger opinions! :)
Best,

My comment was seconded in that thread by Erik_Squires, who is particularly knowledgeable and experienced in speaker design.
