| Which sounds better 2 way or 3 way speaker design I said ~80 Hz for the bottom of the midrange because the idea is to keep at least the fundamentals of the human voice within one driver and there are those who can certainly sing lower than that. | |
| Which sounds better 2 way or 3 way speaker design Ooops, 4435. Stupid edit time out! | |
| Which sounds better 2 way or 3 way speaker design A 2-1/2 (2.5 way) uses two "lower frequency" "drivers" and an "upper frequency" "driver". One of the "lower frequency" drivers is allowed to play all the way down to its lower limit and crossed over to the "upper frequency" driver just as a typic... | |
| Which sounds better 2 way or 3 way speaker design Of course 3-ways would be bigger than 2.5-ways which should obviously be bigger than 2-ways..., right??? These Super Big Red 2.5-ways are only 15.5 cu ft. Those are Chartwell LS3/5A 2-ways on the floor for comparison. | |

| Which sounds better 2 way or 3 way speaker design Actually, the Heil is 29.76 square inches of tweeter surface. I was too late on my edit. | |
| Which sounds better 2 way or 3 way speaker design I’m partial to my 2.5-ways. They use a JBL 18", a JBL 9.7", and a modified Heil. (BTW, a Heil is equivalent to 8 square inches of tweeter surface.) And these do keep the midrange in the 9.7 going all the way up to ~3,500Hz before crossing over to ... | |
| Which sounds better 2 way or 3 way speaker design I have no knowledge of the three speakers in question. Whether a 2 or 3 (or 2.5 or other) way is best is dependent on the selected components, construction, and it’s implementation. There are fine speakers made in many "ways" and I don’t think th... | |
| Which sounds better 2 way or 3 way speaker design "Dedicated midrange driver" is typically an oxymoron and very few three-way systems will not put some of the midrange in the woofer and/or tweeter. You would need to run the driver from ~80Hz-~4kHz for it truly to be "dedicated" to the midrange. | |
| What contributes most to a change in how an amplifier sounds? No the first graph is better as the power level, and hence volume, of the sound does not change with frequency. In the second graph, the power goes up and speakers will get louder ~75 Hz and 1-2kHz and have a dip at ~5kHz so you would not attain ... | |
| What contributes most to a change in how an amplifier sounds? If you people would read the measurements section of Stereophile, you would see that I’m correct. Look at the frequency response for the Moon 861. Remember, we are talking power amps here, so no preamp functions (e.g., loudness) enter into the di... | |
| What contributes most to a change in how an amplifier sounds? I gave the answer..., output impedience. The frequency response of an amplifier will vary with the output impedience when pushing a real life speaker load, and not some fixed value resistor used to determine the power. The lower the output imped... | |
| What contributes most to a change in how an amplifier sounds? All the organs were deciding who should be the boss.... "I should be in charge," said the brain , "I run all the body's systems, without me nothing would happen." "I should be in charge," said the heart , "I circulate oxygen and nutrients all ov... | |
| What contributes most to a change in how an amplifier sounds? Output impedience. If you follow the graphics in Stereophile, you see that the higher the output impedience, the greater the variation in frequency response based on a real life speaker load that is not a simple resistor. | |
| Why isn’t more detail always better? I think, define, bloom as an "expansion/increase in that area of the lower midrange where the fundamentals of vocals emanate from." Furthermore, I think that I could even make a demo showing this effect in real time (i.e., A/B). When I raise the ... |
