So.... I touched upon breakup in woofers and smaller midragnes in 3 way designs, and got a lot of great advice and interesting food for thought
Now my thoughts are going to wander a bit around the subject of bass.
Cardioid seems like an awesome idea, but a bit to tricky for me to fiddle with at the moment - even though I find it cool in both the D & D 8C and Kii3.
But what about the bass arrangement? What is the compromise of using either one or two woofers and/or midranges?
Usually I hear that it's an issue of sensitivity and spl of the complete system - makes sense. But is there any true benefit to have an MTM for better horizontal dispersion, or will it simply make it all more complicated?
Also with woofers. Would a single WO24 from SB, be easier to integrate with the midrange, than a couple of 7-8" woofers. My guess would be that I have to cross around 300hz to avoid trouble by having two drivers playing the same frequencies and also blend with the midrange. But how much of an issue is this, when using fourth order LR?
I still play with my fully active setup with two 8" woofers, 5" midrange and 1" tweeter + 4 subs. It plays really well and has been judged by quite a few, to be really good. But why not dig deeper and become wiser
