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 use the Bob Brines FTA-2000s now. I owned GMA Europas,several Maggies,Paradigms,Omega,Soliloquy 6.3s and a few others. I consider them full range as a whole. Lows are very good without being over blown or bloaty. I only use a sub for movies or compressed MP3 music which sound better with over blown bass..lol. My speakers do have baffle step correction circuits installed..these aren't crossovers though. They help give the speaker a very flat frequency response without the shout associated with some crossover less wide range speakers. The bass roll off is also very smooth and clean. Transmission line bass done right is hard to beat.

They won't play at extreme sound pressure levels. Meaning over 100 dB or so. Not a problem for me since I never listen at these levels any way.
