[QUOTE="TJ Cornish, post: 57891, member: 162"] Re: Intermod distortion 2-way vs 3-way Thanks for the response Ivan. My question is general in nature, and I've never seen intermod specs on any of the speakers I've looked at. I am trying to understand the mechanism. I remember a thread that Lee Patzius participated in where he played two tones through a woofer - 500 hz and 20 hz or something like that to see the interaction. I am wondering if generally there is an advantage in a well-designed 3-way speaker compared to a well-designed 2-way speaker where the smaller band passes mean less interaction between frequency extremes, leading to less objectionable distortion. I am aware that there are trade offs such as phase issues due to relative driver placement, etc. [/QUOTE]
