Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

Yes, but...

The midrange driver in a 3-way design is devoted to the all-important midrange. This decreases midrange distortion and allows for a high(er) crossover point into the tweeter.

And a separate bass driver in the same cabinet as a separate midrange driver and tweeter helps preserve clarity - or at least, is surely no worse for clarity than a single "midbass" driver of the 2-way trying to pump out both bass and midrange at the same time.

The "tweeter/midbass" scenario of the 2-way creates different types of clarities and distortions than the 3-way does, that's all.
