That's my piont , you can only milk the passive two way concept to some natural limit. But ralph has one piont they are not as silly as sonus faber . You may not have to throw more money at it if you want a small two way there a lot of them to consider rangin from enrgyntomkef to Dynaudio to B&W myself I live in a flat and my main speakers are a 2,5 way speakers for front and centre and 2 way for rears . I'm a sucker for active speakers ( I would be relectant to pay 5 figure for passive speakers ) . I would include ATC ADAM Genel PMC and all off the other usuall suspect I forgot the names for . In that price range I would include listening my own front speakers Meridian DSP5200 they actually cost about the same and are also overpriced it is a small floor stander made for not so big rooms , but with the extra perks that it is a digital active design so it sudenly saved you amps active xover and DAC's . But they really shine when used in trifield with the centre DSP 5200 so the whole concepts offsets you with some more dough . By themselfs they have boundaries compensation good for close to wall or corner placement and tone controls where the treble is a quad style tilt control it shifts the whole tonal balance ,good when sitting close to a speaker as in a small room( this can make any speaker sound brigther ) Throw in a processor and you have DRC . ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98249 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
