[QUOTE="JimGore, post: 144143, member: 3"] The idea behind 3 way is that the drivers operate more in their pistonic range. If the midrange doesn't have to do bass duty as well, it usually gives a better defined midrange. If you don't strain the tweeter by crossing it too low it sounds sweeter and has less issues in coping. There is also the beamwidth issue where the size of the membrane or cone determines the frequency at which the driver will start to beam. A well implemented 3 way will always outperform a 2 way using the same mid and tweeter in both. The price to pay as you well realize is extra complexity in the crossover, voicing, and and phase. Regards, Ian. [/QUOTE]
