For DIY speaker what is the best way to go forward.
Single driver: Doesn't cover the top end and bottom end too well. No crossover needed. One point of sound emission.
Two way: Doesnt cover the bottom end. Use of crossover introduces phase variations and other distortion.
Three way: Covers the entire audible band. Each driver is good at what is is doing in its own band.
But more phase distortions and colourations due to three way crossover.
These are just few things. Please add to this regarding their effect for soundstage, imaging etc.
Each of the types has their own strengths and weaknesses.
So whats the best compromise for a DIY.
