  Why not horns?
I've owned a lot of speakers over the years but I have never experienced anything like the midrange reproduction from my horns. With a frequency response of 300 Hz. up to 14 Khz. from a single distortionless driver, it seems like a no-brainer that everyone would want this performance. Why don't you use horns?

Herman, I leave the design of speakers to someone else to prevent headaches. I was just pointing out that the crossover can be used to correct time alignment (sometimes this results in the need to reverse the phase of certain drivers as a result), and in fact a crossover will introduce some time alignment issues that might have to be otherwise addressed. I think its a bad idea to rely on that exclusively- doing some physical alignment is important too.
