Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: Probably the vast majority of multi-way speakers ever made . . .

...cross too high from the mid to the tweeter

In days past, I would agree. Not, however, with modern designs. I think this is largely due to power limitations with vintage tweeters. Harry Pearson fried a number of Advent tweeters using a Phase Linear 700 during his double Advent review. Result? The later New Advent raised the crossover from 1k to 1.5k and ferro-fluid cooled the tweeter. I've been using a 300 watt/channel amp with my pair in the garage system for years. :)

And yet, lots of people love and enjoy their imperfect speakers

Not everyone is sensitive to a lack of coherency.
