Tang Band 2145 in action

I might have posted this link somewhere in this topic, or elsewhere.
Here it is a  2nd time.
Note
This tech geek has heard quaite a  few of the BIG names,  The Popular Vote Speakers.
Great you like them.
WEll in this discussion the OP points out there are in fact, does acutally exist a alternative to the xover.low sens types. (Note how i always include the db spec when discussing the speakers in your room, LOW SENSitivity, as  this is their major weakness)

Anyway, Read through the thread,,which i need to make time for as well.

Consider it a  EDU 101/wide band assist concept.
I will not be posting much any more, and I know well this topic will get pushed under the bus when I'm gone.
Down to Audiogon's dungeon.

But at least its loged in and others may run across it in their researches.
Had I not brought up this topic, ,,well there is 2 or 3 other Wide Band topics here,,but all have been buired undera  mounatin of xover COMMERCIAL/CONSUMER speakers,. Sound for the average audiophile. 
Vandersteens, Thiels, Wilson,s KEFs. Focals. Harbeths. etc ETC

@mozartman , this tread was start by my first appreciated customer

To me, the big takeaway from this discussion is the importance of using drivers that permit the crossover points being moved out of the heart of the midrange.  I've heard one way, two way and three-way systems utilizing wide range drivers that permit this, and when properly implemented, such systems sound terrific.  My local, Washington DC audio shop, Deja Vu Audio, builds custom systems based on this principle.  They have one and two way systems using full range dynamic drivers. 

But for my taste, it is their horn-based systems that are the best, and they employ horn/compression drivers to handle the bulk of the frequency range.  Some of their systems are crossed over as low as 200 hz to the woofers and around 10,000 hz to the tweeters; that is a wide range being handled by the midrange drivers.  Horns that can go as low as 200 Hz are giants, but, Deja Vu has some folded horns that are reasonably compact and can work as low as 500 Hz.

The BIG plus of both the horn and wide-range dynamic driver systems is that they are all very efficient, which means they can be driven by low-powered tube amps, another specialty of Deja Vu Audio (they make their own low-powered tube amps or sell brands that specialize in tube amps--Audio Note, Synthesis, Conrad Johnson).

Everyone who doubts that a wide-band driver can sound good even as a single driver system should make the effort to hear some of the systems made by Charney Audio, Voxativ and Cube Audio; they might change your mind.

I have no doubt a  singler HIGH TECH MODERN  WBers could very well be acceptable, and enjoyable, in my classical muisc.
For those seeking the huge soundstage LOUDspaekers of the 70's, 80s and through even today's times,, may not likea  single,, or lets say a  single WBer at 100db spl,, may not be what they are looking for.
So they go Wilson,  Dali, Vov Schwiezgert (sp error) at $100k with Accuton drivers.
There are at least 100 top selling speakers on the market. Buyers bonaza, Flea markat Galore.

We WBer cultists, once we hear a good WBer , we never can do back to xover low sensitivity types.
WE lived with them for decades, Now in our elder age, we are more bold, daring, inquisitive and a  bit smarter I should say, 
WBers is what we 've always been looking for, but never knew it.
The multi driver WBer system seems  a  more full rich experience vs a  single speaker.
But I don't know , maybe Cube with their strange 2 and 3 whizzer cones have something special also AER's big priced. speakers.

I put together a  Frankenstein and have no interest  looking futher.
I plan to add a DavidLouis Be witha  huge Nd magnet.

My classical music does not require anymore than what I have.
But for others who prefer a  lab to  put togethera  multi driver WBer system, sure I think they are not only making the wisest choice, but really the only choice.

Seas and Accuton's high tech midranges will not compete with a  WBers midrange.'
Nice  drivers, but sorry
