Short of going 4 way, the midbass solution is better if you want proper infra bass; this is what I run, although when thinking about building a bespoke set of loudspeakers, I always feel not running a dedicated proper mid driver would be a compromise.

Interesting that the newer M models (3200) are running a mid-tweeter and bass, rather than the more traditional mid-bass and tweeter; for some reason that doesn't sit right with me either; must be expectation bias or an ingrained way of thinking.

Then again, I visited MI' (Ian) last year and got to listen to his ESL57s; ignoring sub frequencies, best sound I'd ever heard; proper studio quality and scale; just need a sub that can keep up!

Now, do I go for the M1 clones using the ATC mid, or 3 Quad ESL in Trifield along with some DSP open baffle 15" subs...
