Time for Two Ways !


There are as many types of speakers are there are human languages and dialects, but we have to agree one of the most popular formats is the two way system, with a tweeter and mid-woofer.

Sure, they are imperfect, often limited in bass or dynamic range, but they have major advantages as well:

  • Small Footprint
  • Small baffles
  • Single crossover point
  • Easier to integrate with a room’s acoustics

These are some general ideas. Of course, you don’t have to like 2-way speakers. You may prefer full-range single driver, ESL or 5-way beasts, but I hope we can please keep this thread 2-way friendly!

I’d love to hear from others about 2-way speakers you adore. Are you a 2-way only kind of audiophile?  How do you like yours? Horn loaded? Transmission line? Desktop?

2 way fan here too!  In addition to your list of pros, a wife pleasing size too!  I've always valued fast speakers and soundstage and felt in my smaller rooms over the years, smaller 2 way are easier to achieve this.  My choice remains my old - monitor audio mark IV gold, the non metal treated woofers (at the time the studio series added a twang, to me).  floor standing, with sand fill I saved on stands also.  

Love my bass, so i run two M&K MX700's.  in my small room, limited to maybe 31 hz but they fast, powerful and integrates perfect with the monitors.
