it's cheaper to build a good 2 way speaker than a good 3 way. So, it's all about your budget.
2-way design vs. 3-way design means ?
Just curious as to the sound difference between two-way and three-way, obviously a missing element on the two-way of the mid range. I own a three-way Cornwall and I’m thinking of going to one of these heavier and more substantial, build, quality, thicker walled bookshelf speakers.
I guess every speaker sounds different to every different human ear that listens …and it may be difficult to explain in terms of the sound. Obviously, a two-way speaker only has two drivers and possibly different interior components?
Like… what is the difference between a Fritz and a JBL century L 100?

@yogiboy smart people told me this who knew about speaker design. I believe them :P |
I am with you! The corollary is that if a two-way speaker and a three-way speaker are the same price, it is London to a brick that the two-way will sound better. It is equally disturbing that given the choice, most buyers will go for the 3-way as they seem to be getting more for the money. A case of less really being more! |
Wow. East vs. West coast sound is the answer to JBL ve Fritz. 2 or 3 way have nothing to do with it. A 3 way, properly executed, may have better off axis and dynamic range. The problems all 2 ways suffer from include having to stress the tweeter by attempting too low a crossover point At the same time the mid woofer starts to beam at the top of the range. I just built a 3 way center and the dynamic range and off axis response is outstanding. Having said all that, there are many good 2 way speakers and for my money Fritz is among the very best. Would you like it more or less than a JBL classic? You should listen. |
