General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: Best 3-way, or 2.5-way speaker under $6k

Not exactly sure why you limit yourself to 2.5 and 3 ways.

As for the Zu Audio - HE speakers do not suffer in the midrange - that's where they tend to be best sacrificing the frequency extremes a touch if anything. One could argue that Zu Audio and Teresonic excel in the midrange though dynamics at high level may be an issue. I get your take on the driver materials since I share it but the LE speakers tend to sound shut in boxy and dynamically inept with a requirement to play loud (and then you just get slamm (boom and sizzle) from many.

I'd be looking at bigger two ways. Devore Orangutan, Audio Note J or E, Harbeth SLH5, ATC speakers, Zu Audio Essence and Superfly, Tannoy Kensington SE (and other models depending on price).

If it must be a two+ way or more - you could look into the Studio Electric T3 (off the beaten path I admit).
