I could not find an explanation anywhere else but my apologies in advance if there is a post on it.
Even in one and the same series you can often find 2 and 3 way speakers. Typically, you might have three-way floor stand speakers suggested for the fronts but the surrounds are often two way speakers. Some manufacturers also sell these complete systems with such a mix saying that they perfectly match.
If I understood correctly, the filter that is needed to transition between the tweeter and woofer or mids, typically causes a phase shift. Because of this, if two and three way speakers are mixed, they should at some point be completely out of phase, or not? If so, would it not cause quite audible issues?
Or are they adjusting the phase of the two way system to artificially follow the 3 way system?
Thanks in advance!
