single driver speakers have very poor higher frequency sound and cant do bass. That is the price you pay for a bit less comb filtering in the mids.

There is coherency in single driver designs that eliminates quite a bit of IMD due to crossovers. A heated up crossover can cause compression, particularly the bass/midrange crossover, and bring a hard presentation if driven. I personally appreciate the immediacy of full range drivers. Dynamics are less affected and again, as a preference, dynamics are on my list of highly desirable characteristics. I guess one can tell I like to crank it! |

@dentdog- Intermodulation distortion is caused by drivers, trying to reproduce too many frequencies, at one time. NOT, "...due to crossovers." Dynamic/power compression is another subject altogether; again, not caused by the crossover, but- by overloaded drivers. https://audioxpress.com/article/testing-loudspeakers-which-measurements-matter-part-2#:~:text=Interm.... |
