I have two distinct setups in my living room.
One is 2.1, with bookshelf and sub, just for my stereo listening.
The other is 3.0, with floorstander as the mains, mostly for my family members watching YouTube videos.
What I have found is that the bookshelf speakers have much better details than the 3 ways.
The floorstanders don't have as good details, but it seems to cast a more realistic placement of instruments. Not sure if it is because it is a 3 ways, because it has larger bass woofers of 10", larger cabinet, or something else.
I am thinking to combine the best traits of both sets using minidsp HD and stereo amps. For example:
400 Hz and up to my bookshelf
400 Hz and below to my 3 ways.
Place them close together, and use REW to match them into hybrid 3 ways.
Bad idea?
Thanks!
