I’m not an advocate of a Dual Concentric Driver, Multi Driver or a Panel Speaker Iike an ESL.
I own and use all Three Types.
I am an advocate of how they are Set Up. As Cabinet Construction are not all equal and the impact of energy produced by Drivers and this energy effecting a Cabinet is not all equal.
The Structure used under a Speaker has a substantial influence on End Sound being produced.
The Interface of the Speaker to the Room and the Rooms capability of managing Sound Energy within it, substantially effects the End Sound produced.
A preference for a particular design for a Speaker, if all that is being considered, will create one outcome only.
Only Luck on one’s side will create the End Sound that thoroughly impresses.
When an Interface for a Speaker is discovered that shows End Sound being produced that really impresses. Why care about a Xover or no Xover. Bring new options for an End Sound into the Space allocated for experiencing the Audio System.
