2-way speaker with best bass


I know all the arguments about how crossovers can screw up loudspeakers, and hence the many inherent advantages of 2-ways over multi-driver designs. But there comes a point where the laws of physics can only be bent so far...

So... what IYO is the 2-way speaker that most successfully plumbs the depths, that provides the best full, but "tight and tuneful", bass, with good pitch definition, without completely messing up the higher registers?

For the moment, let's not worry about how this achievement might affect impedance and sensitivity.

I bought the Acapella LaCampanellas for just this reason. Their plasma tweeter is outstanding but using it in speaker above the LaCampanellas makes for a complex crossover. They go deep and can play loud.
The Version 3 is better than the Mini II, IMHO. The Kharmas are crap. I cannot imagine how they can sell them.
The Devore Super 8's were quite impressive in my one hearing, but they seem to be off the roadmap outside the NE.
Mapman, different strokes for different folks. I don't know what "the sound is emitted from the REAR of the driver 360 degrees."
Mapman, I know how the Walsh driver works. I misunderstood what you meant by "rear" of the driver. I was thinking "rear" of the speaker. Sorry. I guess I would have said the backside of the driver.
