[QUOTE="Grimolfr, post: 324734, member: 550409"] Think of a home stereo speaker. Traditionally (at least 10 years ago, anyway) a single home-stereo speaker had a subwoofer, a midwoofer, and a tweeter. (Some have separate woofers and mids.) That's 3 or 4 drivers in a single speaker. I don't recall ever hearing anyone refer to a tower speaker as "speakers", unless they were referring to a pair of towers. Think of a speaker as a matched set of drivers. (For instance, a component speaker. In this case, the separate drivers aren't even mounted in a single frame, but they are collectively referred to as a single speaker.) [/QUOTE]
