2-way speaker with best bass


I know all the arguments about how crossovers can screw up loudspeakers, and hence the many inherent advantages of 2-ways over multi-driver designs. But there comes a point where the laws of physics can only be bent so far...

So... what IYO is the 2-way speaker that most successfully plumbs the depths, that provides the best full, but "tight and tuneful", bass, with good pitch definition, without completely messing up the higher registers?

For the moment, let's not worry about how this achievement might affect impedance and sensitivity.
128x128twoleftears
Gemme Tanto V2. No crossover on the woofer and only a single cap on the tweeter, very sweet sounding speaker.
Reference 3A DeCappo has much the same setup with an 8" woofer. Wonderful speaker.

In your room ... Bass Traps correctly placed could help deliver those qualities your looking for

Don't forget Audio Note AN-E/SPe HE with the new Hemp 8 " driver. Possibly my next move for new two-way for "The Office."
