In Reply to: RE: What advantage a 2.5 way has over 3 way ? posted by genungo on December 12, 2014 at 04:56:07
From my experience with PSB, 2.5 way are usually employed with tower speakers and the driver closet to the floor is usually cutoff before 300Hz to eliminate floor bounce. The second driver overlaps the bottom driver in the bass but not all the way down. There is no passive driver scenario, at least not with PSB.

Seems the term 2.5 has undergone some changes over the years to me several different things. passive radiators, double woofers, even two ways with subs have been referred to as 2.5 at some time.
So what would it really mean "now"?

If I misused the term "passive" here, I apologize to all.My old triple driver Klipsch KG 4.2 speakers were sometimes referred to as "2.5 way" speakers, back in the day. In reality, they were "2-way" speakers that employed one passive radiator for bass reinforcement. I also remember that my old triple driver B & W DM-603 S3 speakers were sometimes referred to as "2.5 way", when in fact they employed a passive woofer design. So, I guess it depends on who you talk to...

None with my experience either. The layout PSB uses is the most common form of 2.5 way.
And yet despite the look on my face, you're still talking.
