I have been trying to gain some understanding into 2 Way vs. 3 Way Speakers. I have read lots of information that talk about the technical difference, and that makes sense. What is hard to find is insight into the differences/advantages in the actual sound.

For those of you that have experience with both, are there notable distinctions in the sound performance between two way and three way speakers?

    I have a history in killing 2 way bookshelf speakers even with a highpass set at 80 Hz and additional subwoofers. Now I’m using a 3 way setup (2x 10" + coaxial Horn) + 2 dual 18" Subwoofers.

      What SPLs are you hitting?

      The tinnitus in my ears right now tell me to give the standard PSA, mind your exuberance with the volume knob or pay the price. Can you tell I did not in my youth? ;)
