I was looking at the Mesanovic RTM10 and the Dutch and Dutch 8C. Both talk about having a "subwoofer". I am not getting into a semantic discussion of what it means to be a subwoofer. I am honestly curious how those speakers are functionally different from something like the Genelec 8340 or 8350 plus the 7370 sub (or 2 7360 subs). If you consider all of these to be 2-way speakers that cross over at an appropriate place (100 Hz for Dutch and Dutch and 150 Hz for Mesanovic), it seems to me that the Genelec monitor + subwoofer(s) would be conceptually equivalent. Extending this logic, something like the KEF LS50 Meta (or your favorite monitor) plus some subs and a reasonable cross-over (150 Hz or so) are all just variations on the same theme.
In contrast, the Genelec 8361A crosses over at 320 Hz, which seems like a slightly different approach to the problem of creating a "full range" monitor (term used loosely).
I am ignoring the cardioid aspect of Dutch and Dutch, and the simplicity of the single monitor approach and near field use.
I am curious as to comments from others on this.
