Question about mid-range drivers
Options
A lot of speakers are 2-way speakers, that is, they have one tweeter and one mid-range driver. Yet many Polk speakers have two or more mid-range drivers in them. What is the advantage of multiple mid-range drivers in a speaker system?

Multiple drivers increases sensitivity and power handling."He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. And when you gaze long into an abyss the abyss also gazes into you." Friedrich Nietzsche

Do multiple mid range drivers effect the speaker's imaging, that is, do they sharpen the sound stage image or blur it compared to single mid range drivers?Onkyo TX-8255 Stereo Receiver

It depends on the placement of the drivers and the crossover topology."He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. And when you gaze long into an abyss the abyss also gazes into you." Friedrich Nietzsche

Can you tell me what all the weird symbols are in your link? The ones that look as if they may substitute for letters.TO ERR IS HUMAN. TO FORGIVE IS CANINE. -
Looks like all the tech articles pages are experiencing that problem.
Something's globbed up.
