[QUOTE="zako, post: 7881836, member: 629735"] I wouldn't worry about the "complexity" of the install if I had a self tuning active 3-way capable processor like JBL MS-8. Good strong, up front midbass is something that's not easy to get out of a 2-way speaker setup. 3-way setup with 8 inch midbass could take care of this. In a typical 2-way setup, the mid-range spectrum is split between woofer and tweeter, which means more tuning to get good imaging. In a 3-way setup, the dedicated midrange woofer can act as a point source driver for the entire midrange without problems like beaming, if you use properly sized midrange. [/QUOTE]
