Are Multi way/xover type speakers ~~Flawed~~

You guys already know very well where  my opinion stands There seems to bea  few others out there who hear what I hear in xover/multiway speakers.
Of course I don't expect much support here on Audiogon, 
As I know where you guys stand. 
Other than a  few horn and ELS fans who might not show any interest in making a  comment against the xover types.

**Ohh I like  my horn and my XYZ xover speaker,,as each does something different...** and such.
Compromised
And note the most famous mantra in all audio held by The Authority of The  General Consensus
**All speakers are a  tradeoff, all have compromises, all have weaknesses and strengths, there is no such speaker as perfect...** and so on and so forth.
WEll I don't swallow that snakeoil

You'll find more support for this idea that there is nothing wrong with xover multi type speakers in the topic below

Not at all. Anyone with an absolute opinion is absolutely wrong LOL.

I own four pair of speakers in different systems. Three two-ways with crossovers, one pair of single driver no crossover. They are each exceptional and match well with my associated gear. 
You evangelize from a podium that your way is the only way but your descriptions of your various experiments are uninspiring.  I’m sure you are having fun and enjoying your journey, which is all that matters. Peace.

Which FR do you have.?
Have you tried the Davidlouis?

WEll I post what I think, my opiions, Both the good and the bad of each experiment.
Folks can take it as it is.
Wonder why others have not followed my suggestion and try adding in a  FR as midrange. 

I preach what I know is true based on experiences. 
Stereophile propaganda-ize their favorite xover speakers.
Each his own I guess.

 3 way. best speakers ive ever heard (with one small exception - Dynaudio) price & sound not worth the extra $


 nope, best speakers ive heard are all 3-way or 4-way.

 the single drivers, with acoustic, folk, some light rock are PFM for me, but would rather have the volume as i primarily listen to metal/rock

 heard those odyssey speakers, the soundstage from only a small driver and tweeter was stunning. but, could not handle rock/metal played loud!
if i had a only acoustic rig, classical, or light rock, these would be on the radar.

 metal/rock is best served loud with a cold Guinness and some Irish Cheese & black pudding!

 if i ever have the money, I will be looking at Dynaudio.

 still want a pair of those acoustic energy flagship towers.
almost no dealers, and i will NOT ship audio ever again.
