Is the ideal multi-way a 3-way with limited bass?


Hear me out here.

3 way speakers with the traditional large woofer benefit from high bass output, and improved midrange clarity due to the lack of Doppler distortion affecting the mids, but with a lot of modest listening areas the big woofer can also be detrimental.  They produce too much bass, which together with room gain and room modes causes flabby and exaggerated bass.
So, lacking ARC or EQ capabilities perhaps the best compromise for the purist is to have a big woofer 3-way but with a limited -3 dB point, say 45 Hz or so.

Perfect sound reproduction requires flat response 20-20khz. Anything less is WRONG. 
If you want perfect transients you do a 1 way full range cone. If you want more highs you do a 2 way. If you want a bit more mids you do a 3way. Its not rocket science. Open baffles are WRONG which is why we have box speakers in the first place. Use your brain. It is not rocket science. If you want to be a master tuner you need to learn how to listen. If you want good bass get yourself a better room dont blame the speakers. No such thing as dopler distortion. Have you ever heard John atkinson criticize how terrible all these 2way speakers sound due to dopler distortion? Never. Get real and stop complaining.
Wow, I stand corrected... Go get um.. K.

Kmini, KMAX on the way...

You feel better now, I know the forum deletion, was a weird one...

Just weird...

Wait wait, last week we were all schooled that all speakers sound exactly the same.  Now we are being educated in how different speakers sound different depending on how they are built?

When will the madness end??
The "ideal" is an indibualistic thing.
I fail to see any enlightenment here.
