2-way vs. 3-way

As a recent convert to horn loudspeakers, I can state that Ditusa's claim is not ridiculous. My two way speakers consist of a custom conical horn with a 2 inch compression driver, Jbl LE 15B woofer in the JBL L-200 cabinet and an outboard active crossover. This system will fill a large room easily and works just fine at my 12 foot distant listening position.
He's also right that tweeters can't keep up unless they are horn tweeters.
My bandwidth is limited, however. I'm only good from about 40Hz to 16Khz. Within this range, this system is the best I have heard.

I suppose Ditusa thinks we all owe it to him to agree with whatever he says.....sorry to let him down.

Ditusa made a claim that defies what many of us assume. Some of us, however, are aware that the claim is not unreasonable.
Whether or not he is correct remains to be seen but just rejecting his comments without a substantial argument to the contrary is certainly unreasonable.

Chadnliz - You seem to disagree with his assertion. Why?

Best 2-way as in.. Biggest-Baddest-Loudest?

How about a definite contender for "Best 2-way that can compete with a big bad three way for farfield use?" (seeing as a three ways main advantage over a two way is broad even dispersion and generally a higher acoustical ouput - granted it comes with the disadvantage of an additional x-over)

This type design lives on without the Dolly Parton look. And yes - something like this is very big and very bad - with a transient response like a panel and ability to play at a max peak of 136 db SPL - there is very little out there that will play percussion as realistically as this will.

Anyway I'd like to stay away from "best" - for sure a 2 way is better in most nearfield applications and a bigger three way is generally better in most farfield applications (with noted certain exceptions in either direction)
