Soupcraze, I repeatedly asked you to stop misleading people!

AVAddict is right, and this review is definitely worse than "Not Helpful". In fact, there should be a rating called Misleading

You don't know what the 4-way speakers are and your review makes no sense. As a lot of your other reviews. Is it too difficult to read some magazines before writing nonsense?

Well, maybe you're a little over your head here. If you lok at any ads or any information on the Sony SS-MF515 speakers, they say that they are "4 speaker 3-Way speakers." They contain a tweeter, midrange, and midbass woofers. They have exactly 4 drivers, but they are 3-Way speakers. I have seen speakers with those same drivers, and also built in subwoofers, and those are 4-Way speakers because of the ranges they handle. I have no idea about what you are talking about, because you simply don't know yourself.

Considering that, I don't know what to do about my rating. Seeing as I didn't know that, I suppose if it's wrong, that it obviously wouldn't be helpful.

Hm...

I'll check it out...

"4-Way speakers include a tweeter, midrange, woofer, but the main difference is that 4-Way speakers include built-in powered subwoofer(s)."

That is from your review.



A speaker with a .5" driver, 1" driver, 4" driver, and a 6" driver constitutes a 4-way speaker. 4-way does not mean a powered sub is included. A speaker with one 1" tweeter, 23 6" mids and one 12" sub is a three way speaker. By your logic it would be a 25 way speaker.

Your review makes little or no sense.
