I owned all my life 3 way speakers , and 4 years ago bought the Proac 140 MKII 2.5 way design actually it’s a 2 way design with double mid/bass drivers and found it’s the best design I ever heard ,the bass don’t punch in your face as 3 way speakers with dedicated bass drivers tend to do the bass is more organic and natural, the second advantage the double mid/bass drivers produce more dynamics and details than 2 way typical speakers with one mid/bass driver.
PMC 24 and Canalis Cambria two way floorstanders; What is the advantage to this design?:
I recently noticed several 2 way floor standers, in particular, the PMC.24 ($6000 retail) and the Canalis Cambria at $5000 retail. Pro-AC and Spendor also offer a few 2 way floorstanders
Is there any advantage to a 2 way floor stander to a 3 way system??
I am aware that less drivers and crossovers, and a slimmer cabinet "usually" provide better sound quality; However, the retail prices of the above don't seemed to represent "good value".
Thank you, S.J.
