active speakers, Paradise? Trouble in paradise?

Super. Thanks Shaterne.

That pretty much settles it for me then.

Please note that my comments on nearfield two ways is not limited to active speakers at all.

I agree with Shadorne's point, but I'd just note that there is (at least) one (kinda rare) exception to the high x-over point = beaming rule. Omnidirectional drivers (like those in MBL, Ohm, B&O, etc.) are usually designed with a very high "hand-off" from the mid to the tweeter, yet (due to the omni design) the mid driver doesn't narrow its dispersion pattern near the top of its passpand.

Marty,

Agreed. I was referring to the majority of conventional two ways. Omni's being a rather a minority.
