I agree with you, waz ... a central woofer crossing over at 300hz is strange concept.. ...

However, I'm not sure I agree with your statement that "It's actually the 2nd point that can be the more problematic in a 3-way".

If you want to be "theoretical" about it, I suggest having a crossover anywhere in the human voice range - say, 150hz to 2,500hz - is not a good thing. So having the XO from woofer to mid on the Linkwitz "Orion" & the John Kreskovsky "NaO" @ 120hz is better than having it @ 340hz on my IIIas.

Likewise, the XO between mid & ribbon on my IIIas is set @ 2,600hz ... which I reckon is better than the 3.6, where it is down around 1,800hz. (And the NaO is 2,500hz compared to the Orion's 1,500hz.)

Regards,

Andy

I'm not sure I agree with anything I say ;- )

I initially read that there was a single woofer. Now I read that there are two. That changes things, but I think I'd want to keep them fairly close (each 'sub'/sat pair).

  Why? They don't really look that close in the demo pics.
  
  They also had two woofer enclosures for a total of 4 woofers so each little panel had two woofers supporting it.

    300Hz is above a middle C. If I put on a blindfold and then spin around a few times (so that I'm disoriented with regard to where things are) and my daughter hits a middle C on the piano, I can point right at it. Drop an octave to a C3 and I still can. My point is that these are highly localizable frequencies, so they shouldn't be coming from different points in the room. At least, that's what I think - I'm not sure I'd pay much attention to me however ;- )
