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?

The solution is to get rid of cone drivers and use electrostatic forces to move ultralight diaphragms.  Done properly can be free of cabinets and cover the full frequency range.

Still have to ensure there is coherence across a big panel, as is done by Quad with their apparent point-source annular design
