Just how many options does 1 need in a 2 way bookshelf design?

Welcome to capitalism, bro. It's not about rationality, it's about "choice." The landfills and deforested landscapes can testify.

Personally, I'd like more acoustic suspension choices.

{Personally, I'd like more acoustic suspension choices} would require larger cabinets and today small is in, cheap to build, cheap to ship from China, easy to stock, and high profits on sales. They did a great job of selling small to the general public after all tech should be more compact not larger. That bumps into the laws of physics when building a device to produce a soundwave, sound waves didn't get smaller.

Hey JohnK/Kenjit,

I blocked you for a reason, and now you are harassing me via my virtual system.

See, I know that you are Kenjit because you are the only person who ever directs this statement to me:

A poorly designed speaker system will cause all the sonic issues you say your hearing in your many many many many many threads and replies.

1. Kenjit has for a very long time inserted himself into my threads claiming I am having sonic issues, or dissatisfied with my system when I’m perfectly happy with it, even if able to critique it.

2. Kenjit is obsessed with the fact that I not only built my main speakers, but posted 100% of the designs and measurements online.

3. Kenjit has never heard my system so he has no idea if it is a good design or not.

4. Kenjit will talk trash about some aspect of stereo reproduction without ever coming to a specific set of recommendations, or able to demonstrate he has something better.

5. Bonkers take on the physics of speaker design, which is evident in your post:
