Single way or multiway


The founder and builder of the highly respected high-end speaker company Gauder AkustikDr. 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.

Who is right, and who is wrong?

as a dealer for over 30 years our perspective our this question is simple

 

we have never experienced a single driver speaker worth owning the reason is simple you need a proper high frequency driver to produce clean and airy high frequencies and in the history of audio we have been moving into better and better tweeters from paper to plastics to metal domes to damped metal to ribbons and AMTs 

as long as the tweeter is well matched with a properly implemented  crossover you can create a seamless totally transparent music reproducer
