Midwoofer+Tweeter vs Wide band

90%++ of  our usic, Especially classical music,, falls in the 500hz-say 2500hz range.
Now I FIJNALLY!!!! Understand all the fuss and issues with a  midwoofer/tweeter thing.
Mid woofers are attempting to do 2 things, carry bass and carry 500hz-say 1500/2khz.
Tweeters, those tiny lil 1/2 inch vc's are trying tp voice 1500/2khz thriugh 10khz/15khz
Now i finally grasp whats going on here. with sens level at no more than 90db, most drivers are actually below 85dbm, regardless what the lab specs states.
vs 
Wide bands
These higher quality speakers , voice easily, with no stress and a  perfect meshing on the 60hz-12khz, anda  seamless gorgeous musical image.
Witha  TRUE REAL, Not hyped 92db sens. 
habds down the wide band 8 inch easily performs far superior to Wilson's mega money speaker line.
I have no idea why the american  audiophile will not accept the truth, the reality, of the wide band 8 inch speaker performance over the box Wilson.Vandersteen, Magnepan, Thiel speaker design. 
The chinese audiophile has long ago dumped the low sens multi driver  design for the single 8 inch wide band design. 
There is not even 1 speaker with muti drivers that offer the least interest , now that i have made the wide band discovery.

Its really a no brainer
Yet facts show the american audiophile ain't budging one bit towards the wide band speaker.
I can give 3 reasons why the multi thing has failed
And I can give 3 reasons  to go wide  band as speaker of choice

I can not find even 1 good reason to stay multi speaker.

Although I am using my wide band with Seas W 18's dual, and a  tweeter. 
Still its really a  single wide band speaker, not multi.

Many of you here have even yet to hear a  new wide band. 
Why the resistance?

28 inches high, the other 30 inchs high. 

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

You're telling all these folks about speaker building and you built two different size cabinets? Did I understand that right?

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Some of the drivers mentioned a single driver cost as much as 12 PS drivers from PE. 

Sound better, you got to be kidding me, 12 vs 1 go ahead tell me how it sounds better.. 

We put those columns up against some really good IRS Betas.. 

IRS Betas are tons of fun too..

The 300 pound column bettered them from 60hz to 20khz. GRs servo took from 60hz down.. Imaging was way better, bipole vs dipole..

About 2500.00 with crossovers and cabinets.. IRS were 10-15k depends.

Excellent speaker when housed and crossed correctly.. I was paying 61.00 each. I used 12 per side in a 10" X 88" X 12" deep 13/8" thick MDF cabinet and one G1 ribbon centered at 44".

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nice lil 6 WB (=Point Source= PS=WB=FR)
at $61
They are $100 now,
So @ $100 each

Best bet is the 
Parts Express Tang Band 2145/$250 pair.
This TB is very close in mids to the DavidLouis VX8 @ $550/pair.
I stayed with the DLVX8 and returned the TB2145.

12 PS 6 per channel is a  heck of alot of sound.
WOWWW
Blows any Wilson towers away I am quite sure.
The only thing is , how is the midrange in all fq's in the Dayton PS6???
All mid fq's in the TB2145 and DLVX8 are crystal clean, just gorgeous. 
Both easily blow away any Wislon tower speaker  as far as midrange, which runs into the mega G's, as high as $950,000.
I'll take a  single TB2145 or DLVX8 over any Wilson. 

Just the tax on the Wilson is wayyyyy more than a single TB or DL. 
And you get much superior mids in the wide bands, TB2145/DLVX8.
No brainer.

Just wrote davidLouis, Informed him that his VX8 is priced wayyyyy too lowwww
True price should be 
$1k, if not more
I hope he raises  his prices.

mozartfan, what on god's green earth are you talking about? You have just spouted a series of opinions without any basis in reality, none. You like what you like because you like it. Wonderful. I like vanilla ice cream any other flavor a corruption of the art of ice cream manufacture. Breyer's should raise their prices.
