[QUOTE="3.5Max6spd, post: 1669172, member: 555373"] Since talking 3way sets, perhaps I should touch base on the obvious. The Rainbows/Focals and MBQ's use cone midranges-which are better suited for on axis/angled mounting to properly set up. The Dyns and Morels both use very nice dome midranges- with excellent off axis dispersion- basically alot easier to use, you can put'm anywhere, they dont quite need a baffle or enclosure as they are closed back drivers. With the ease of use of the dome, comes at the compromise however of achieving a true single point source as these domes are no good below 500-600hz with superb shallow slopes without compromising power handling. The cone drivers however play much lower and cover a greater vocal range, with a more ideal reproduction altogether. Dome midranges are nice and simple to use- but I myself had to modify mine to play lower, and would still love if they could play even lower than the ~380hz i squeeze out of mine. So basically IMO if you are going to run a passive setup, you will get a better performance across the whole range out of a properly set up 3way set with a cone midrange. [/QUOTE]
