Not a fan of driver arrays for home audio.
When speakers duplicate drivers
What are the effects of duplicating drivers? I'm not talking about the so-called "half" driver where one does, say, both bass and midrange and the other does only bass, I'm talking about straight duplication.
What is the effect on sound? From a technical standpoint, what happens to the incoming signal when it gets split over duplicate drivers?

. Here’s one with 12 of the same woofers and 9 of the same tweeters in one speaker cabinet. http://www.dagogo.com/gr-research-ls9-loudspeaker-review . |
Done correctly it can work quite well for more power handling. SPL and dynamics- especially bass output. A good example would be two woofers handing off to a midrange driver at a low enough frequency (e.g. 400Hz) where distortion and phase issues are not audible. A 2.5 way can accomplish the same thing. |
