If tweeters are better suited to highs, small speakers to mids and large woofers to bass, why don’t we have an array of ten say ten or twenty gradually increasing speakers from tiny tweets to ENORMOUS woofers, each with a unique crossover at a specific frequency they perform best at?
We really seem to have settled on three sizes. Tweets, miss, and subs. Why is that the case?
Surely more speakers handling less varied frequencies means a better response, right?
If you spent $20 per driver on ten drivers, you’d be in for $200 per speaker in just drivers. The crossover will also be very large and expensive.
You’ll get vastly better results from a $100 woofer and $100 tweeter with a simpler crossover and a smaller box.
