Are Multi way/xover type speakers ~~Flawed~~

You guys already know very well where  my opinion stands There seems to bea  few others out there who hear what I hear in xover/multiway speakers.
Of course I don't expect much support here on Audiogon, 
As I know where you guys stand. 
Other than a  few horn and ELS fans who might not show any interest in making a  comment against the xover types.

**Ohh I like  my horn and my XYZ xover speaker,,as each does something different...** and such.
Compromised
And note the most famous mantra in all audio held by The Authority of The  General Consensus
**All speakers are a  tradeoff, all have compromises, all have weaknesses and strengths, there is no such speaker as perfect...** and so on and so forth.
WEll I don't swallow that snakeoil

You'll find more support for this idea that there is nothing wrong with xover multi type speakers in the topic below

pair of single driver no crossover.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Which FR do you have.?
Have you tried the Davidlouis?

WEll I post what I think, my opiions, Both the good and the bad of each experiment.
Folks can take it as it is.
Wonder why others have not followed my suggestion and try adding in a  FR as midrange. 

I preach what I know is true based on experiences. 
Stereophile propaganda-ize their favorite xover speakers.
Each his own I guess.

 3 way. best speakers ive ever heard (with one small exception - Dynaudio) price & sound not worth the extra $


 nope, best speakers ive heard are all 3-way or 4-way.

 the single drivers, with acoustic, folk, some light rock are PFM for me, but would rather have the volume as i primarily listen to metal/rock

 heard those odyssey speakers, the soundstage from only a small driver and tweeter was stunning. but, could not handle rock/metal played loud!
if i had a only acoustic rig, classical, or light rock, these would be on the radar.

 metal/rock is best served loud with a cold Guinness and some Irish Cheese & black pudding!

 if i ever have the money, I will be looking at Dynaudio.

 still want a pair of those acoustic energy flagship towers.
almost no dealers, and i will NOT ship audio ever again.
