They don't sell a full component kit per se, but you can get their 6' or 7' woofer, their 1' tweeter and their 2.5KHz won't win any sound competitions but Dayton's stuff is as good as any of those midlevel to high end brands, and you can have the full front setup for under $100 I believe. If you want to make a killer component system on the cheap I recommend going to and checking out stuff by Dayton. And as far as the time delay between the tweeter and the woofer, it's minor. All frequencies travel at the same ~340m/s in air from what I remember. Not to be a stickler but as a physics enthusaist/engineer I couldn't let that slide. It's only a difference measured in milliseconds, but it's real and you (yes, you) can hear it as a vague 'smearing' of the sound.

The inexpensive tweeters used in most coax speakers tend to be 'bright' - you won't have much difficulty hearing it.Įven with components, when you move the tweeters closer to you than the mids, you'd probably introduce a stronger time difference than what already exists - since high frequencies travel faster than lower ones, they arrive at your ears sooner. On the other hand, there are some higher-end coax units that could sound better than inexpensive components.Īs for wanting to move the tweeter away from the mid, this is probably unnecessary (and undesirable) anyway, particularly for a coax. This is effective, but probably won't sound as smooth as good separates can. Component speakers, in addition to utilizing (better) drivers meant to be separate, include a more sophisticated crossover.Ĭontrast that with the typical coax or triax speaker, which has only a single capacitor blocking low frequencies from frying the tweeter. Basically the same as having those fancy expensive component speakers without paying the extra ching.You're perhaps exaggerating a bit, but in case you aren't:
