Hi all.
First of all, forgive me if I'm too uninformed, I'm very far to be an expert.
My question is about 3 drives vs. 2 drives speakers. When I was young, I remember most "high-end mass market" systems had 3 drives speakers. Actually, my Sony system had them. After a lot of years of having just my basic system I've decided to go a step up and update the system. I've found that current bookshelf speakers have 2 drives, being 3 drives reserved to floorstanders. What is the reason for that? Is it just a money thing or are there advantages or disadvantages from a musical standpoint?
Thanks in advance for your wise answers.
