>>perhaps overlap crossover frequencies with more gradual slopes to aid in creating more seamless coherency

Ken, this puzzles me. Vandys are 1st order so by definition have gradual slopes and a fair amount of overlap between drivers. How could that really be changed or improved in that area? Admitted the biggest problem here is that the mid driver has to serve a very large range and that limits the amount of power and spl that you can get from the speakers without distortion, about 100db or so at ~15', IME.

While the comments about boxless aren't true, I do think that there is an advantage to separate boxes as you avoid back wave distortion from other drivers. Vandersteen isn't the only one to do this and others build boxes in boxes for the same purpose.

Just small points.
