We spend too much time talking about tweeters

my point was never that we should ignore the high frequencies, but that we talk about tweeters like they are the whole speaker.

Speaking of using a 3 way, I have to say I'm really intrigued by the idea of a woofer-assisted wide band.  It's almost like a full-range, with a woofer added. Could be pretty interesting, but like Duke, I don't find crossovers to be nearly the villains they are made out to be.

Look at this another way, how often do we nit pick speakers apart because of the mid driver? The technology there, etc?

I agree with everything Duke said. Kind of to add to my original thesis, how many times have discussions about entirely different speakers been focused on their tweeters? Is it Be? Diamond? Ceramic? AMT?

It’s as if the tweeter itself defined the quality of the entire speaker, and goodness knows the cost on the high end can be exorbitant for such little devices!
