2 way or 3 way Speaker?


I have a pair of Snell Type 2's bought in '86. They have
an 8" woofer and 1" tweeter. They sound good but technology
marches on and I wonder if a 3 way speaker might sound
better. I guess I've always been confused how the woofer
can produce bass and midrange. Thank you for the input

I use two way mini monitors with a Channel Islands passive preamp, a Marchand active crossover and stereo subwoofers ( fed by old Kenwood monoblock amps ). If you do something like this it's going to blow you away. You can always upgrade the monitors in the future. Don't settle for a single sub. Stereo subs make a *substantial* difference.

Eldart, those Kenwoods aren't grainy at all--they're good enough to drive the mini monitors w/out the subs! Too bad they have lamp cords. I'm going to use cryo'ed VenHaus Flavor 2 (hardwired).
