I have had many speakers and have been the most satisfied with 2-Way main speakers crossed over high at around 3.5 KHz employed with a good stereo subwoofer system crossed over below 90 Hz. That way there is no crossover point in what I consider to be the most critical frequency range for human voice, cello, etc. Today my very best system has 2-Way Open Baffle main speakers of my design, with 3.5 KHz crossovers, and the very substantial stereo subwoofer system part of the Infinity IRS Beta (2 X 4 twelve inch carbon woofers), plus a third push-pull subwoofer next to and slightly behind my listening position to correct a room node. The only reasonable musical comparison is being there live, which I will be for Pat Metheny the day after tomorrow...
