All i'm going to say is I've heard many quality 2-way designs outperform every other layout i've heard. more drivers means more crossover points means more problems.


and on car audio, a super tweeter for above 15KHz? we've had quality tweeters that could produce 3KHz-20KHz since the late 50s. And besides a lot of people not being able to hear above 15Khz theres almost no audio content in music there either.

Ah, you're one who does not care much for a system that can handle a party or two.

Try putting your 2 ways in a home theatre where you're 15 feet away from every driver. It doesnt end well.

3-20 KHz and it doesnt clip at 3 Khz? Why you must not be turning the volume knob far enough to the left.

Again, volume is the main thing that determines how far you need to take this.

The fact of the matter is, a small set of those THX certified speakers that logitech sells will sound AMAZING until 95 dB where they start to compress. By 100, you'll break them. That and the insane amount of clipping just means you're going to damage your ears quicker in the process. I havn't been able to find any studies to back that last piece up, but that seems to be my own finding.

95% of 2 way speakers need a sub to back them up. Try a TL with a full range driver.

It'll sound great........ at low levels.

And pro audio aiming for clipping? I see... you need to venture into the world where we TEST these "horrible sounding atrocities that some dare to call a loudspeaker" and pick up a pair and try 'em for yourself.

Better yet, if you can't tell the difference between a speaker thats distorting to hell and one thats nice and clean, you shouldn't be attempting to design your own speakers.

I just remembered....

This is a 2 way speaker, and yes, it is better than the system i mentioned above.
