Crossover-less Speakers


I'd like to hear from those of you who transitioned to crossover-less speakers. I have a pair of Thiel CS 2 2s. I like 'em but I'm curious about the full-range crossover-less speaker types. I'd like to know what speaker you have and what speaker you traded up from. Are you getting the full range from your spkrs? Are you experiencing any peaks and valleys in the frequency response? Are you happy with the lows or are you augmenting with a powered sub? Thanks.

I was very pleased with my old Sonus Electa Amators and Minima Amators of past. They used a very minimalist crossover, which yeilded very good damping of the drivers, and thus a very dynamic pressentation!
Only problem was that these speakers were finicky to the power being pressented to them. Rather, the voltage out of the wall!
When the voltage was high, say 124 or above, (at night), the sound was dark and rather bland. During lower voltage, the sound was simply SUPERB!!!
Bobby Palkovic from Merlin mentioned something about this in conversation. I wonder is this is common to many simple or crossoverless designs?
