two way v. three way speakers

a 2-way has a simpler crossover. That can more than compensate for the benefits of a 3-way, especially in a smaller room, where you don't need to move much air.

i typo'd go buy piano and harp. i meant i have a harp and piano in the listening room and a professional musician to listen to them anytime i desire. i know what they sound like. this is a for profit hobby and the idea is to make people constantly seek and spend more and more. i was down that rathole. why do you have to throw in the jab re set amps? it is like pot, the big drug cos. despise pot cuz it will cut into their profits they think. same with audio gear industry and old school full range drivers and small tube amp. with new advances the sound rivals extremely costly gear and fits in small spaces with few cables. all this crap thrown out there about all these tiny details is just pointless as it just leads to more tinkering, but this is why it is a pasttime and not an end purchase. i now use my money to buy great music well recorded.

I used to have 3-ways with two 61/2 bass drivers and an identical mid driver. Now, I have a single 51/2 driver in a transmission line speaker with a parallel sub. The first ones were 91db and the current ones are 95db. When I go to my dealers showroom and listen to the ones I used to own, I can hear the crossovers and interrupts the musical enjoyment. Once you go crossoverless, it's hard to listen to more filters.
