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.

To thread starter:
Not so much a transition as I still have the Maggies, but I had to let go of my Apogees in my 2nd system and replaced them with single drivers. I could not find a multi driver that worked for me. The combo I like is a single driver and a SET amp using the 45, 2a3 or 300b tube. Full range? Not likely. Having aroung 50 hz to maybe 15 hz without a x/o is a nice thing though. I don't mind the idea of adding a sub for below or a supertweeter for above IF needed. I use the Omega Super 3r, Omega A8 and Cain Super Abby. Only the A8, with its 8" Visaton B200, was a little peaky for my ears and room, but a simple filter in line with the + speaker wire put it where I like it.

Opinion on Duke vs Macrojack:
We all have the right to wonder if someone is going to benefit from an endorsement. The ONLY truthful answer is Yes, No, or Some. Duke asked, Macrojack answered "some". That "some" is then explained as VERY little. Fine, asked and answered. Draw your own conclusions as to motive and weigh the endorsement, but I do think it was right to at least ask.
