Those Gales have tweeters as well. :-)


Different argument.

I think the point was that the crossover frequency was a bit higher than
other speakers.


Which makes them somehow perfect? It's a choice made by the designer
taking all sorts of other things into account. Not just the crossover
frequencies.

There was one BBC design - built pretty well regardless of cost - which
crossed over at approx 1kHz.
