No one is 100% right or 100% wrong. It’s highly subjective and depends on the objective. All have pros and cons, and there are many ways to skin a cat. It boils down to highlighting the best choices, and minimizing the effect of the unavoidable less desirable ones.
Crossover or crossoverless
The founder and builder of the highly respected high-end speaker company Gauder Akustik, Dr. Gauder, says that using a full-range driver is very bad. He uses 3- to 4-way speakers with extremely complex 10th-order crossovers consisting of 58–60 components.
In contrast, some other well-known and equally respected speaker companies — such as Voxativ, Zu, Cube Audio, and Totem — use crossoverless designs.
