Midrange Crossover: Choosing the least of all evils?

[Andy G]

Agreed that Vifa and Peerless mids are downright amazing, but have you tried the Scanspeak mids? You can use those with neither a high pass nor low pass and they will still sound really good.

I'm still on student wages.. I'll stick to the Vifas and Peerless!

doesn't geddes like to cross over in the 800-1000hz range?

For his 2-way waveguide speaker, that is the appropriate (and only) place to cross. The design forces him to cross around that region.

We are talking about mids in a 3-way here.

Doesnt matter where you cross...what matters most is to keep phase issues in place, which is also the most difficult part...every time you tweak/adjust fore better sound the phase changes...you may even experience excactly when the sound is best the phase goes completely wacko...a real pain sometimes

Drivers cross themselves over, too. Don't worry too much about it.

That's terrible advice.
