I grew up using speakers that were no more than 8” full range drivers with wizzer cones attached. Then I bought some ADS 300’s. Tiny two way speakers with a big sound. Then came my first subwoofer and a separate active crossover to fill in the bottom. Essentially making my system a three way. Much later came the DQ-10’s with their 5 way crossovers. When I added the sub and crossover it became a 6 way speaker system. Now, I have a 3.5 way and a sub.
I bet the crossover’s in the Amati’s cost more than my first few systems combined!
I sure have come a long way in my journey.
